Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 GPD 075 00 02
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to help strengthen security across the nations surface transportation systems. It is one of four DHS/FEMA grant programs specifically focused on transportation infrastructure security, and it sits within a broader set of Congressionally authorized efforts designed to reduce risk to critical infrastructure from potential terrorist attacks. In practical terms, the program is aimed at improving the ability of transit providers to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism that could target transit assets, operations, and passengers.
The central purpose of the TSGP is to provide funding to eligible transit agencies so they can better protect critical surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public. While the notice frames the program within high-level national strategy, the underlying theme is straightforward: transit systems are high-visibility, high-use environments, and investments that harden security, enhance detection and deterrence, improve preparedness, and strengthen operational resilience are considered essential to national homeland security. The program aligns with the DHS Strategic Plan mission area focused on strengthening preparedness and resilience, and it also supports FEMAs 2022-2026 Strategic Plan goal to promote and sustain a ready FEMA and a prepared nation. FEMA also signals that it expects close coordination with stakeholders and partners and encourages applicants and partners to adopt similar preparedness and resilience priorities.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DHS 23 GPD 075 00 02 and CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 97.075. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary, meaning awards are made through a competitive or otherwise merit-based process rather than by formula. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with further clarification referenced in the full announcement text, which typically indicates the program does not fit neatly into a single conventional category such as education, health, or housing.
Eligibility is broad at the government level and includes state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, along with other eligible entities as described in the program guidance. In many FEMA transportation security grant programs, the primary intended recipients are transit agencies or entities closely tied to transit operations, with local or state governments sometimes serving as pass-through entities or formal applicants depending on governance structure. The notice points readers to the additional eligibility section for details, which is where specific qualifying criteria, required designations, or operator characteristics would be spelled out.
Key dates and funding scale provide a sense of the programs scope. The opportunity was created on February 27, 2023, with an original application deadline of May 18, 2023. The maximum funding available (award ceiling) is listed as $93,000,000, and FEMA anticipated approximately 40 awards. Taken together, those figures suggest a program intended to fund a limited number of sizable security projects or portfolios of projects across eligible transit systems, rather than a large volume of small awards.
Overall, the FY 2023 TSGP is best understood as a targeted federal investment in transit-system anti-terrorism capabilities and resilience. It is designed to help transit providers identify and address security gaps in ways that support national preparedness objectives, protect riders and critical assets, and strengthen the ability of communities and transportation networks to withstand and recover from intentional attacks.Apply for DHS 23 GPD 075 00 02
