The U.S. Department of Transportation made a grant of $15,523,700 in Fiscal Year 2013 under the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program to Boston in order to increase the capacity of city streets, alleviate congestion on the roadways and transit system, support safe non-motorized travel and enhance the competitiveness and attractiveness of the region. The TIGER program was originally established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, Public Law 111-5). Grants under this program are subject to Buy America rules, including those set by section 1605 of the ARRA.
