Florida GAP

Introduction

Grant Application Process or “GAP” is the Department’s web-based database application for soliciting and receiving applications for grant funded projects and project management of the grants after award.

Multiple offices in the Department use GAP to manage LA delivered projects that are funded through the various grant programs administered by the Department. For additional information on the GAP database please see Chapter 4 of the Local Programs (LP) Manual.

The following are financial assistance programs that utilize the GAP system common to the Central Office and District Local Programs areas. The system may be used for services such as project application cycles, project award, project prioritization, project management, and closeout.

These projects are funded under some of the following programs (subject to change):

  • FHWA Emergency Relief Program (ER)
  • Local Agency Program (LAP) (delivery mechanism for awards, not a financial assistance program)
  • Non-Traditional Federal-Aid awards
  • County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP)
  • Local Transportation Projects (LTP), awarded by General Appropriations Act, Specific Appropriation or Provision
  • Economic Development Transportation Fund (EDTF)
  • Florida Job Growth Grant Fund (FJGG)
  • Small County Outreach Program (SCOP)
  • Small County Outreach Program for Municipalities within Rural Areas of Opportunity and Communities (SCOP-M)
  • Small County Road Assistance Program (SCRAP)
  • Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP)

Other financial assistance programs that utilize the GAP system outside of Local Programs are among others, the Offices of Planning, Safety and Traffic Engineering & Operations. The system is used by these areas for project prioritization and award, but the projects may be passed to the Local Programs units in the districts for project management within the system.

These projects are funded under some of the following programs (subject to change):

  • Bridge Investment Program (local roads)
  • Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP)
  • Ferry Boat and Ferry Terminal Facilities Program
  • Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
  • National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program (NEVI)
  • Recreational Trails Program (RTP)*
  • Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program
