FY 2010 Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP)
Total Funding Available in FY 2010: $11.5 Million
Purpose: The purpose of the FY 2010 IBSGP is to provide funding to create a sustainable program for the protection of intercity bus systems and the traveling public from terrorism. The program seeks to assist operators of fixed route intercity and charter bus services in obtaining the resources required to support security measures such as enhanced planning, facility security upgrades, and vehicle and driver protection.
Eligible Applicants: Eligible applicants under the FY 2010 IBSGP are owners and operators of fixed route intercity and charter buses that serve Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) jurisdictions. Charter companies must make a minimum of 50 trips annually to one or more UASI jurisdictions to be eligible. Tier I consists of companies with 250 or more over-the-road buses in operation that provide the highest volume of services to high-risk urban areas. Tier II consists of all other applicants that meet the minimum eligibility requirements.
Program Awards: Bus companies will compete for funds within their designated tiers. Recipients will be selected through a competitive process based on the ratings of the National Review Panel.
