Transportation, Community, and System Preservation Program
Purpose
The Transportation, Community, and System Preservation (TCSP) Program is a comprehensive
initiative of research and grants to investigate the relationships between
transportation, community, and system preservation plans and practices and
identify private sector-based initiatives to improve such relationships. States,
metropolitan planning organizations, local governments, and tribal governments
are eligible for discretionary grants to carry out eligible projects to integrate
transportation, community, and system preservation plans and practices that:
improve the efficiency of the transportation system of the U.S.; reduce
environmental impacts of transportation; reduce the need for costly future
public infrastructure investments; ensure efficient access to jobs, services,
and centers of trade; and, examine community development patterns and identify
strategies to encourage private sector development patterns and investments
that support these goals.
