The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) (officially known as the “Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside”) is a Federal reimbursement grant program funded through the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The TAP allows local governments and other eligible entities to apply for grants for a variety of non-motorized transportation projects.
