AMP Grant:Checklist

Let us help you apply.

Your city doesn’t need an existing plan to apply for the AMP Grant— we’ll guide you through the process.

The grant program supports cities at any stage of readiness. As part of the program, you’ll receive an assessment that identifies barriers and offers strategies to overcome them, designed to work for communities of any size or type.

Complete this checklist to prepare for the application process.

Build your team

Local Government: Engage a representative from a local government authority who wants to improve how the city delivers projects.
Community Organization: Engage a representative of a nonprofit, philanthropic, business, advocacy, or other community-based organization working on mobility, transportation, or place-based improvements.
Gather letters of support

Secure letters of support from at least three community representatives. They can include:
• Head of city department tasked with mobility project implementation OR highest levels of elected leadership like mayor or city manager.
• Leader (executive director/board chair) of partner organization OR leader of local or regional philanthropic organization that supports mobility projects.
Secure your local match

Before you apply, determine if your local government or community organization will invest in this project. A local philanthropic foundation, crowdfunding, or a combination of sources may also be the answer.
