The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Transportation Alternatives (TA) Grant Program provides funding for design and construction of safe routes, on-road, and off-road trail facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-motorized forms of transportation; including sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian and bicycle signals, traffic calming techniques, lighting, and safety-related infrastructure transportation projects to achieve compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Projects are typically programmed in the new fifth year of the FDOT's Tentative Work Program. Agencies are invited to submit applications for projects that can be developed for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

The TA Grant will assist the Town in funding the Miami Lakes Fairway Drive Bike Lanes and Crosswalks Improvements Project. The Project will take place on Fairway Drive from Miami Lakes Drive to Miami Lakeway North. The Project will provide pedestrian and bicycle safety-related infrastructure in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and align with the Town's ADA Master Plan, Greenways and Trails Master Plan, Strategic Plan, and Complete Streets Implementation Plan.

The Project is estimated at $1.2 million. No more than $1 million of TA Grant funds will be awarded to any single project in any single application cycle. The Town's match source includes the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) of $300,000 to be budgeted in the Capital Projects Fund for FY2024.
