12 new agencies are now eligible for the Arterial Preservation Program

At the March board meeting action was taken to increase the eligibility for the Arterial Preservation Program (APP) to $3 Billion Assessed Value, up from $2 Billion. The program has been offered for ten years at the $2 Billion level. But with inflation and a growing population, many cities had become ineligible. The legislature also gave TIB direction to emphasis preservation in the latest transportation budget, giving TIB $10 Million towards preservation for cities in the state of Washington. Because of these factors, the Board increased the eligibility to $3 Billion Assessed Value. To check local agency eligibility for all TIB programs, use the Program Funding Eligibility tool on the right hand side of our grants page.
