43369 - Transit Ridership Incentive Program (TRIP) - Regional Connectivity - FY27
Funding Opportunity Details

Transit Program

Final Application Deadline: Feb 1, 2026 11:59 PM

Description

• TRIP supports the regional connectivity of urbanized areas by designating state funding to a variety of strategies aimed at mitigating congestion, reducing emissions, and decreasing single vehicle trips. The following terms and metrics should guide applicants and will be utilized in project prioritization and selection:
  Useful service: Regional transit provides opportunities for long-distancing commuting, accessing regional employment centers, and connecting riders with other modes of transportation. For regional connectivity projects, useful service will connect riders to regional needs in a quick and efficient manner that deters community members from relying on single vehicle trips.
  Regional Significance: For the purpose of this program, to be considered regionally significant, transit routes must facilitate intra-regional travel within urbanized areas with populations over 100,000. Regionally significant routes fill a gap between corridors of statewide significance that serve statewide objectives and urban development areas (UDAs) which serve local objectives. Projects developed through regional collaboration, or through partnership with the urbanized area’s metropolitan planning organization (MPO), will receive additional consideration in project evaluation.
