Appendix D. Funding and Responsibility Chart of U.S. DOT, U.S. DOJ, DHS/FEMA
* Decisions for FHWA funds are allocated by formula, and decisions for individual projects are made at the State or metropolitan planning organization level and are included in the State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) or metropolitan Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). Most DHS and U.S. DOJ funds are allocated at the State level through the State Administrative Agency (the Governors’ designee). ** While eligible recipients for some grant programs include all State and local agencies, often DOJ and DHS grant funds FC activities, DHS grants fund EOC activities, and DOT grants fund TOC activities. Programs where State and local agencies are eligible grant recipients may be opportunities for TMCs, EOCs, and FCs to submit a combined request. *** Program descriptions, eligibility, and application procedures for all Federal grant programs may be found in the Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance. In addition, web pages for these specific programs are included in the footnote for each grant program below. [i] FHWA National Highway System and Surface Transportation Program: The operating costs for traffic monitoring, management, and control systems, such as integrated traffic control systems, incident management programs, and traffic control centers, are eligible for Federal reimbursement from National Highway System and Surface Transportation Program funding. Operating costs include labor costs, administrative costs, costs of utilities and rent, and other costs, including system maintenance costs, associated with the continuous operation of the system. For both National Highway System (NHS) and Surface Transportation Program (STP), the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) continues the eligibility of capital and operating costs for traffic monitoring, management, and control facilities and programs. Also, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) clarified and SAFETEA-LU continues the eligibility of NHS and STP funds for ITS capital improvements to specifically allow funds to be spent for infrastructure-based ITS capital improvements.

Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP) “DHS encourages projects funded through the FY 2010 BZPP to support the coordination and direct interaction with State, regional, and/or urban area fusion centers, and/or EOCs located in the region of the identified BZPP site. Examples include allowing fusion centers and/or EOCs access to video camera surveillance feeds resulting from cameras purchased through the BZPP or ensuring the jurisdiction responsible for the BZPP site has an identified liaison officer responsible for coordinating with and reporting suspicious activity to the fusion center.” Fiscal Year 2010 Buffer Zone Protection Program Guidance and Application Kit.
