Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP)

Overview

Total Funding Available in FY 2008:  $11.72 million

Purpose:  The IBSGP provides funding to create a sustainable program to protect intercity bus systems and the traveling public from terrorism. The FY 2008 IBSGP seeks to help owners and operators of fixed-route intercity and charter bus services support security measures such as enhanced planning, facility security upgrades, and vehicle and driver protection.

Eligible Applicants:  The only eligible grantees for the FY 2008 IBSGP are private operators providing fixed-route or charter transportation by an over-the-road bus servicing Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) jurisdictions.  Charter companies must make at least 50 trips annually to one or more UASI jurisdiction.  Companies that have 250 or more over-the-road buses in operation and provide the highest volume of services to high-risk Urban Areas will be placed in Tier I.  All other applicants that meet the minimum eligibility requirements will be placed in Tier II.
