Alabama Department of Transportation: FY 2026 Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program (ALDOT TAP)

The purpose and intent of this program is to provide new “Transportation Alternatives” to communities, as well as enhance existing non-motorized transportation infrastructure. Eligible projects must be for public use and the benefit of the community at large.

The following areas are considered in the competitive selection process:

• Promotes Safety
• Increases Local Transportation Options
• Provides Community Enhancements
• Local Commitment
• ADA Compliance

*The Federal share for TA Set-Aside projects is generally 80%, with the sponsor providing the remaining 20% in matching funds. The TA set-aside Program is a “cost reimbursement program”, not a “grant”. After the sponsor is issued a notice to proceed, the sponsor must pay 100% of the project expenses and request reimbursement for 80% of eligible expenditures from ALDOT.
