Complete Transportation Planning, Compliance and Project Management | P17AS00798

Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00798

The grant opportunity titled "Complete Transportation Planning, Compliance and Project Management" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00798) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior notice describing planned funding to support transportation-related planning and implementation work for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and Muir Woods National Monument. The central purpose is to collaborate on the practical tasks required to move transportation projects forward, including transportation planning, environmental and regulatory compliance activities, and day-to-day project management support. The work is tied directly to addressing access and mobility challenges at some of the park system's most heavily visited locations, where congestion, parking constraints, and visitor circulation can affect resource protection, visitor experience, and safety.

This effort is rooted in the 2015 General Management Plan for GGNRA and Muir Woods National Monument, which identified a range of transportation projects intended to better manage access at high-demand destinations. The notice highlights examples of these high-visitation sites, including Muir Woods National Monument, Fort Mason, the Marin Headlands, Crissy Field, Fort Point, and parklands near the Golden Gate Bridge. In practice, the funded activities are meant to help the NPS advance the planning and approval steps that typically precede implementation, such as coordinating stakeholders, refining project concepts, supporting required reviews and documentation, and keeping schedules, deliverables, and interagency coordination on track.

From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, indicating a partnership-style arrangement where the NPS expects substantial involvement in the project rather than a simple pass-through grant. The funding is categorized under Environment and Transportation and is associated with CFDA number 15.954. The announcement lists eligibility as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the most important detail is that the posting is explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award" and "not a request for applications." In other words, it is not open for competition; it is published to inform the public that NPS intends to fund a specific project under an existing cooperative agreement, identified as being with GGNPC.

Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $98,000 and anticipates a single award. The opportunity record includes key dates showing it was created on September 8, 2017, with an original closing date of September 22, 2017, which in this context functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a competitive application deadline. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted support for advancing transportation solutions in and around GGNRA and Muir Woods, ensuring that the planning, compliance requirements, and management coordination needed to implement those solutions are completed in an organized and timely way.
