Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program

The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program is a U.S. federal initiative that funds transportation projects to improve infrastructure such as roads, bridges, railways, airports, and transit systems. Its goal is to boost economic growth and create jobs by supporting projects that enhance mobility, safety, and efficiency. Funding is awarded competitively based on the project's potential economic benefits, innovation, and readiness. By investing in transportation improvements, TIGER aims to strengthen communities, market access, and overall regional development, fostering a more connected and resilient economy.
