Eligible planning activities must be associated with a new fixed guideway or core capacity improvement transit project and should improve economic development, increase ridership, enhance multimodal connectivity, improve pedestrian and bicycle access, engage the private sector, and support mixed‑use development near transit stations.

• State governments (including territories and the District of Columbia)
• Local government entities that are existing FTA grant recipients
Applicants must be the sponsor of, or partnered with, an eligible transit capital project (e.g., new fixed guideway or core capacity improvement project). Only one application per project corridor is permitted, and partnerships between transit project sponsors and land use planning entities are required where applicable.
