Background

    Section 11529 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), enacted 
as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58, Nov. 15, 
2021), established ATIIP. The purpose of ATIIP is to provide 
discretionary grants to eligible entities to plan, design, and 
construct eligible projects that provide safe and connected active 
transportation infrastructure in an active transportation network or 
active transportation spine (BIL sec. 11529(a)).
    The ATIIP projects will help improve the safety, efficiency, and 
reliability of active transportation networks and communities; improve 
connectivity between active transportation modes and public 
transportation; enhance the resiliency of on- and off-road active 
transportation infrastructure and help protect the environment; and 
improve quality of life in disadvantaged communities through the 
delivery of connected active transportation networks and expanded 
mobility opportunities.
    The ATIIP grants will allow communities to identify, prioritize, 
and implement improvements to the largest barriers to safe, accessible, 
and equitable pedestrian and bicycle network connectivity through the 
development of infrastructure that will provide substantial additional 
opportunities for walking and bicycling.
    The FHWA is publishing this notice pursuant to section 11529 of BIL 
to notify stakeholders of the availability of the NOFO located on 
grants.gov.
