Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 GPD 075 00 01
The Fiscal Year 2019 Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to help strengthen security for the nations surface transportation systems. It is one of four DHS/FEMA transportation infrastructure security grant programs and is framed as part of a broader set of congressionally authorized measures designed to reduce risk to critical infrastructure from terrorist attacks and other high-impact events. In practical terms, the program is aimed at giving transit agencies resources to better protect riders, staff, and essential transit assets, while also improving their ability to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from major incidents.
The core purpose of FY 2019 TSGP funding is to support investments that protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism, major disasters, and other emergencies. While terrorism prevention is a central driver, the program language also emphasizes all-hazards readiness and resilience, meaning projects that strengthen security and emergency capabilities can have value across multiple threat scenarios. The program aligns with DHS homeland security mission priorities described in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, particularly the mission area focused on strengthening national preparedness and resilience, and it also supports FEMAs 2018-2022 Strategic Plan priority of readying the nation for catastrophic disasters. The opportunity statement encourages stakeholders and partners to adopt these preparedness and resilience priorities as part of a unified national approach to emergency management.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as "Fiscal Year 2019 Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP)" with the funding opportunity number DHS 19 GPD 075 00 01 and CFDA number 97.075. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary, meaning awards are made through a competitive or evaluative selection process rather than by formula distribution. FEMA listed an expected 35 awards under this program. The posting shows an award ceiling value of 0, which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in this data extract or may be defined elsewhere in the full notice rather than as a single fixed cap.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants should consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for the precise definitions and any requirements or limitations. Based on the description, the intended applicants are transit agencies responsible for surface transportation systems, particularly those with critical infrastructure and significant passenger activity that may present elevated risk profiles. The program was created (posted) on April 12, 2019, with an original application closing date of May 29, 2019, setting the window for interested eligible entities to assemble project proposals consistent with FEMA and DHS security and preparedness priorities.
Overall, FY 2019 TSGP can be understood as a targeted federal investment in transit security and resilience: it helps transit operators fund measures that harden and secure systems, improve preparedness, and strengthen the ability to handle catastrophic events, with the broader policy intent of protecting critical infrastructure and the public while advancing nationwide readiness goals.Apply for DHS 19 GPD 075 00 01
