The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Discretionary Grants was created on February 17, 2009 when President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 with the intent to preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery, invest in transportation infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits, and assist those most affected by the current economic downturn. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) was awarded an appropriation of $1.5 billion for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure and published a final Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on June 17, 2009 inviting applications from entities including tribal jurisdictions. DOT will accept applications by electronic mail no later than September 15, 2009.

am an active member of this community and I care about what’s important for our families and our neighborhoods. I have raised my family in the same home for 15 years and am eager to give back to the community that I proudly call home. We deserve a state government that doesn’t waste the people’s time and money squabbling. I believe that reasonable people can work together for the good of Montana. I want Helena to have a clear focus on our needs and take care of the people’s business.
