Washington, D.C. – The Eno Center for Transportation (Eno) will release a new publication entitled Lessons Learned from the TIGER Discretionary Grant Program with an event held at Eno headquarters. The paper, researched and written by 2012 Thomas J. O’Bryant Eno Summer Fellow Amy Cavaretta and Eno’s Paul Lewis, looks at key players involved in the creation and sustaining of the program and examines how the funds were distributed. It concludes with five specific policy recommendations for future federal discretionary grant programs to make them sizable, sustainable, and effective.
This event comes as Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced DOT will open the fifth round of TIGER on Friday, making about $475 million in grants available.
Date: Tuesday, April 23
