Opportunity Information: Apply for FR RLD 16 003
The FY16 Supplemental to the Moynihan Station Redevelopment Project is a discretionary federal transportation grant offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Issued under Funding Opportunity Number FR RLD 16 003 and CFDA 20.314, this opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as its funding instrument, which typically means the FRA expects to have an active role in oversight, coordination, and ongoing involvement as the project progresses rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction.
The purpose of the funding is to support the Moynihan Station Project in New York City, a major effort aimed at increasing passenger capacity and easing operational problems associated with Pennsylvania Station. The project’s core approach is to redevelop the James A. Farley Building and its Western Annex, which sit across Eighth Avenue from the existing Penn Station complex. By converting these structures into a new intermodal transportation facility, the project intends to create the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Station, expanding and improving the overall rail and passenger handling environment in one of the nation’s most heavily used transportation corridors.
The opportunity is narrowly targeted in terms of eligibility. Only the Moynihan Station Development Corporation is eligible to apply, indicating the grant was structured as a supplemental allocation for a specific, ongoing redevelopment effort rather than an open competition among multiple applicants. The maximum award amount listed is $16,000,000, with the application closing date of July 13, 2016, and a creation date of July 5, 2016, reflecting a short timeline consistent with a focused supplemental funding action tied to a defined project sponsor and scope.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity is best understood as a federal funding increment intended to advance the redevelopment work necessary to deliver a new intermodal station facility. The anticipated outcome is improved station functionality, better passenger circulation, and added capacity that helps reduce congestion and operational constraints at Penn Station by shifting and reorganizing passenger services and spaces into the redeveloped Farley Building complex.Apply for FR RLD 16 003
