| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Transit systems that are eligible for funding through the FY 2009 TSGP by tier are outlined in the FY 2009 Transit Security Grant Program Guidance and Application Kit. Tier I applicants are eligible to apply for the identified risk-based funding target. Tier II regions may compete for $36,600,000 in funding.
Agencies eligible for FY 2009 TSGP funding were identified using a comprehensive, empirically-grounded risk analysis model. The risk methodology for the TSGP is consistent across modes and is linked to the risk methodology used to determine eligibility for the core DHS State and local grant programs. TSGP basic eligibility is derived from the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI). Certain ferry systems are eligible to participate in the FY 2009 TSGP, and receive funds under the Tier I cooperative agreement process. However, any ferry system electing to participate and receive funds under the FY 2009 TSGP cannot participate in the FY 2009 Port Security Grant Program (PSGP), and will not be considered for funding under the FY 2009 PSGP. Likewise, any ferry system that participates in PSGP cannot be considered for funding under TSGP. The FY 2009 TSGP makes provisions for law enforcement agencies that are principal providers of transit security to a Tier I system, and that maintain dedicated transit units, to receive funding only through a Tier I eligible agency under one or more of the operational packages (OPacks) described fully in this guidance. FY 2009 TSGP funding may be used to support transit-related security activities and not other departmental operations. Table 3 in the FY 2009 Transit Security Grant Program Guidance and Application Kit lists the specific Eligible Rail, Intracity Bus, Ferry Transit Agencies and Law Enforcement Agencies, by tier, that are eligible for funding through the FY 2009 PSGP. |
