Who can apply?
- Applications must be led by a two-party team representing a partnership between local government and a community-based organization.
- Any city or town across the U.S. can apply for an AMP grant, no matter where you are in developing a mobility network. The AMP can work in small towns and growing urban centers.
Requirements
Applications require a partnership between a city department staff member and a local community-based organization lead. These AMP program leads must be able to:
- Assist with making introductions and scheduling interviews with city staff, community partners, elected leadership, and the philanthropic community to conduct an assessment.
- Attend and participate in regular check-in meetings with City Thread to discuss project status, needs, and updates. City Thread will prepare agendas and, where appropriate, written guidance or updates in advance of each meeting.
- To the best of their ability, city staff will provide accurate and up-to-date data to perform analyses of mobility network readiness, mobility planning, staffing capacity, and construction feasibility.
