NOFO Overview The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO or notice) is to solicit applications for FHWAs Strategic Innovation for Revenue Collection (SIRC) Program for Fiscal Years (FY) 2022 2024. Applications for FY 2022 2023 and FY 2024 funds will have two separate submission deadlines in 2024. The specific deadlines for each award cycle will be posted as an attachment to this multi-year NOFO via Grants.gov. The SIRC Program is authorized in Section 13001 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), enacted as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (Pub. L. 117-58). Based on the amounts authorized under the BIL, the anticipated funding available for discretionary grants each fiscal year between FY 2022 and 2024 will be $15,000,000 ($30 million for FY 2022 2023 and $15 million for FY 2024), subject to the availability of funds and obligation limitation. This is the first announcement of this funding opportunity and is not a follow-on notice. However, FHWA implemented a similar predecessor program, the Surface Transportation System Funding Alternatives (STSFA) Program authorized by section 6020 of the Fixing Americas Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (Pub. L. No. 114-94), for the last several years. Information about awards funded under the STSFA Program is available at: https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/stsfa/index.htm. The STSFA was repealed by Section 13001(f) of BIL. Federal grant funds for the SIRC Program are to be awarded on a competitive basis to eligible entities to test the feasibility of a road usage fee and other user-based alternative revenue mechanisms to help maintain the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund. This notice describes the eligibility criteria, application requirements, selection and evaluation criteria, applicable program and Federal requirements, and available technical assistance during the pilot program.
