The Sponsor’s Guide to Non-Traditional Transportation Project Implementation (Sponsor’s Guide) provides comprehensive guidance to project sponsors seeking federal funding for the planning, design, and construction of nontraditional transportation projects. The Sponsor’s Guide instructs local public agencies through the local letting process, addressing all procedures required for successful project delivery.
WisDOT non-traditional transportation projects include the
Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), the
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ), and the
Carbon Reduction Program (CRP).
Sponsors intending to apply for non-traditional projects
must complete the Sponsor’s Guide Certification Training, available virtually through the
WisDOT Learn Center. All members of the sponsor’s project delivery team must complete the training to gain certification.
