The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is committed to maintaining open communication and engagement with the community, Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs), and the Council of the District of Columbia to find solutions for transportation-related matters. DDOT's Community Engagement Division (CED) coordinates, assesses, and addresses community and ANC requests, informs ANCs and communities on the status of DDOT projects and service requests, and identifies strategic and routine actions to build community support for the District's transportation infrastructure projects and program initiatives. 

DC Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)

The TAP or TA Set-Aside is a reimbursable federal aid funding program for transportation-related community projects designed to strengthen the intermodal transportation system. The program aims to expand travel choice, strengthen the local economy, improve the quality of life, and protect the environment by supporting non-traditional projects linked to the transportation system.

Projects will be reviewed through a competitive process and selected based upon a number of criteria, including the project’s expected benefits to the community, feasibility and project readiness, consistency with agency plans and missions, and the sponsor’s demonstrated ability to manage a federal-aid project.

The Transportation Planning Board (TPB) encourages TAP projects that support the following:

  • Multimodal Transportation Options (with emphasis on non-auto modes)
  • Activity Centers
  • Access to Transit
  • Safe Routes to School
  • Disadvantaged Communities
  • Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Act

FY 27-28 Funding 

DDOT will be accepting projects on a 2-year cycle. Projects for both FY27 and FY28 will be selected and approved through this application cycle. A total of approximately $2,951,200 million in funding will be available through a citywide competitive process for qualifying projects. Awarded projects will be funded in either FY27 or FY28 based on project readiness and availability of funds, so Applicants should be prepared that they might not receive funding until 2027. The Transportation Planning Board (TPB) will work with DDOT to conduct the competitive selection process for funds.

The Transportation Alternatives program is a part of the Federal-aid Highway Program. Although the program is a “grant” program under Federal regulation, it is not an “up-front” grant program, and funds are available only on a reimbursement basis. Only after a project has been approved by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) division office can costs become eligible for reimbursement. This means project sponsors must incur the cost of the project prior to being repaid. Costs incurred prior to FHWA division office project approval are not eligible for reimbursement.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Scholarship

Inspired by the belief that love and peaceful protest can eliminate social, political, and economic injustice, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., became this nation’s most heralded civil right leader. He aroused blacks and whites alike to protest racial discrimination, war, and poverty. A champion of nonviolent resistance to oppression, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Dr. King’s life ended at the age of 39 on April 4, 1968, when he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. However short his life was, he greatly advanced the cause of civil rights in this nation. His life serves as an encouragement to each of us to do all that we can to end injustice.

The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Scholarships are awarded each year to Bay County high school seniors (regardless of ethnicity) who actively embrace Dr. King’s dream of improving racial harmony and social justice. The scholarship award(s) will be at least $1,000 and are non-renewable.

Abel-Weatherwax Family Scholarship

On October 16, 1903, a day now known as “Black Friday,” a spectacular fire leveled ten city blocks in downtown Aberdeen, destroying 140 buildings and killing three people. As the young city began to rebuild, it was driven by what became known as the Rainbow Spirit — an infectious optimism that revealed a strength the community barely knew it had. That optimism survived another disastrous fire, sparked just eleven days later, which leveled again some of the same businesses displaced by the first fire.

Almost 100 years later, on January 5, 2002, the Rainbow Spirit came alive again after a midnight fire gutted Aberdeen’s Weatherwax High School, leaving only the skeleton of its landmark main building. Built just six years after the 1903 fires, the high school had been named to honor Aberdeen pioneer J. M. Weatherwax.

The Grays Harbor Community Foundation first offered these Abel-Weatherwax Scholarships in 2002. Named in honor of J. M. and other members of a family whose history is inseparable from the history of Grays Harbor, the scholarships are open to all applicants who satisfy the general eligibility requirements of the Scholarship Program.

Stewart Charitable Foundation, and the Bell Charitable Foundation. In addition, there are many federal and state and local government funders that are providing grants for preschools and early childhood education in their respective areas.

Some of the key federal grants are from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Labor. There are also quite a bit of state-level organizations that are offering funding for Preschool grants like the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and the New York State Office of Mental Health.

A carefully planned approach is needed in order to successfully win grants for preschools. To improve grant success, nonprofits should concentrate on all of these key areas:

  • Align with funder priorities – Tailor proposals to match the funder’s mission and align your programs with early childhood education best practices.
  • Use measurable outcomes – Highlight data that clearly quantifies measurable student outcomes.
  • Build strategic partnerships – Collaborate with local schools and childcare networks.
  • Develop a compelling narrative – Tell real-life stories of preschools and early childhood education programs that you have positively helped in your community.
