Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ324NF00010
The Fiscal Years 2022, 2023, and 2024 Prioritization Process Pilot Program (PPPP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), focused on improving how transportation agencies decide which projects move forward. The core idea is to fund the creation and real-world implementation of a data-driven prioritization process that the public can actually see and understand. In practice, that means building a transparent, publicly accessible method for ranking and selecting transportation projects for both short-range and long-range transportation plans, and then using that method so it can later be evaluated for measurable public benefit.
Funding is structured to support pilot efforts rather than general construction. FHWA plans to award up to $10 million total per fiscal year under this program, with a maximum of $2 million per award. The program is tied to Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) authority, and applications must meet the eligibility requirements referenced in the notice (Section C.3) and will be judged against the selection criteria (Section E). The official opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number 693JJ324NF00010 under CFDA 20.205, with an original closing date of 2024-05-01, and it uses a grant funding instrument.
What FHWA is looking for is a prioritization framework that goes beyond a simple scoring spreadsheet. The pilots are expected to integrate and align with existing transportation programs while elevating projects and outcomes that reflect USDOT strategic goals, especially safety, climate change and sustainability, equity, and economic strength and global competitiveness. FHWA also signals strong interest in pilots that explicitly address environmental justice, barriers to opportunity, coordination between transportation and land use decisions, protection of vulnerable road users, complete streets approaches, freight considerations, and maintaining or improving system condition and reliability. In other words, the scoring and selection process should reflect modern transportation priorities and make the tradeoffs visible rather than opaque.
A major emphasis of PPPP is meaningful public involvement, not as a one-time meeting but as a continuous thread running through development, implementation, and ongoing use of the prioritization process. FHWA expects each pilot to include a public involvement plan that promotes transparency, accessibility, and accountability. The notice stresses that public participation should help shape decisions so they reflect community needs and preferences, and that an open, consistent process can improve decision quality while building trust between agencies and the people they serve. Applicants are encouraged to draw from USDOT guidance, including the technical resource Promising Practices for Meaningful Public Involvement in Transportation Decision-Making, and to show how they will reach a broad range of community members.
The program also underscores compliance responsibilities that come with federal-aid funding. Recipients are expected to involve the public, including traditionally underserved and underrepresented populations, and to follow relevant transportation planning participation and consultation requirements in 23 CFR 450.210 and 23 CFR 450.316, along with applicable statutory requirements for PPPP. FHWA specifically wants to see that applicants will engage impacted communities and community leaders to figure out what communication methods work best for different groups, including understanding barriers that disadvantaged communities may face. That information is expected to shape decisions throughout pilot development and implementation and to carry through into project delivery practices.
Eligibility is limited to two types of applicants: States and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) that serve a census-delineated urban area with a population over 200,000. The notice references the statutory definition of MPO under 23 U.S.C. 134(b). Overall, PPPP is designed to help large regional and statewide planning entities modernize how they prioritize transportation investments, making those decisions more data-driven, publicly legible, and aligned with outcomes like safety, equity, resilience, and long-term economic performance.Apply for 693JJ324NF00010
