The Operations Academy™ is a total immersion transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) program that has become the nationwide standard for TSMO training. It was developed in response to the increasing demand for personnel with skills in these areas and has trained over 650 professionals since the first class was held in March 2007.
The program uses a mix of classroom instruction, speakers, workshops, and analysis of existing systems to ensure the retention of the principles being presented. It provides opportunities to practice and internalize the principles learned which is not possible in traditional classes and short courses. The completion of this program represents a significant accomplishment for each participant.
The Nomination Form for the 2024 Operations Academy is NOW open.

The Congestion Relief Grant Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
|
|
On February 21 2024, the Congestion Relief Grant Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announced the availability of up to $50 million per Fiscal Year (FY). This is the program’s first NOFO covering three years (FY 2022 through FY 2024), totaling $150 million. The program is established in Section 129(d) of Title 23. The NOFO is published in Grants.gov, https://grants.gov/search-results-detail/352531, or search using “693JJ324NF00009.” The application deadline is April 22, 2024.
The Congestion Relief Program will provide discretionary grant opportunities to States, metropolitan planning organizations, cities, and municipalities. The purpose of the program is to advance innovative, integrated, and multimodal solutions for congestion relief in the most heavily congested metropolitan areas of the United States, specifically for urbanized areas surpassing a population of 1 million people. The primary goal of the program is to reduce highway congestion and reduce the economic and environmental costs associated with that congestion. This would be achieved through several means, which include improving intermodal integration with highways; improving overall highway performance; reducing or shifting highway users to off-peak travel times or to non-highway travel modes during peak travel times; and pricing mechanisms. The minimum required amount for an award is $10 million with a minimum 20 percent non-Federal match.
An upcoming external webinar dedicated to providing details of the program and its NOFO is being scheduled. We will follow up with the date and time along with a registration link for the event. This information will be updated in the Grants.gov listing as well. Additionally, our office will coordinate an internal webinar tailored to the select Division Offices covering the localities that are eligible under this program.
If you have any questions on the Congestion Relief Program, please contact program manager, Frank Corrado, at frank.corrado@dot.gov, 689-262-0211.
