Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 19 GPD 057 00 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA, designed specifically to improve security and emergency readiness in the intercity bus sector. It is one of four transportation infrastructure security grant programs FEMA uses to reduce risk and strengthen the safety of critical surface transportation systems. The basic premise is that intercity buses and related facilities are part of the Nation's critical infrastructure, and because they serve large numbers of passengers and connect key communities, they can be vulnerable to terrorist attacks as well as major disasters and other emergency incidents. This program provides funding so bus companies can invest in protective measures that reduce these risks and better protect the traveling public.
IBSGP is framed within broader national homeland security and emergency management priorities. The program aligns with the DHS Quadrennial Homeland Security Review mission area focused on strengthening national preparedness and resilience, meaning it supports practical improvements that help organizations prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from serious incidents. It also aligns with FEMA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan, particularly the priority of readying the Nation for catastrophic disasters. In practical terms, the grant is meant to push the intercity bus industry toward stronger security practices, better coordination with emergency management partners, and improved capability to keep operations and passengers safe during high-impact events.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as "Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP)" with Funding Opportunity Number DHS-19-GPD-057-00-01 and CFDA number 97.057. The issuing agency is the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA. The opportunity was created on April 12, 2019, and the original application closing date was May 29, 2019. FEMA anticipated making about 40 awards under this notice. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the provided data, which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in this summary record or was defined elsewhere in the full notice and supporting program guidance.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants should refer to the additional eligibility information in the full announcement. Based on the program's stated purpose, the intended recipients are intercity bus companies, since the funding is explicitly described as supporting investments to protect intercity bus critical infrastructure and passengers. Overall, IBSGP is best understood as a targeted federal investment in transportation security and resilience, helping intercity bus operators strengthen deterrence and protection measures, improve preparedness for emergencies, and contribute to a more resilient national surface transportation system.Apply for DHS 19 GPD 057 00 01
