Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 GPD 057 00 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is designed to improve the security of the nations intercity bus transportation system by funding practical, on-the-ground security projects. As part of FEMAs broader set of FY 2017 transportation security grants, IBSGP is meant to reduce vulnerabilities in critical transportation infrastructure and help prevent or mitigate the consequences of potential terrorist attacks. In plain terms, the program focuses on strengthening the physical security posture of bus operators, particularly those operating in or serving high-risk metropolitan areas.
The main purpose of IBSGP funding is to support "critical infrastructure hardening" and other physical security enhancements. This generally points to improvements that make facilities, vehicles, and operational environments more resistant to attack or disruption, such as upgrading security equipment, improving access control, enhancing surveillance, or implementing other protective measures tied to a documented risk. The program is framed as one element of a larger national strategy authorized by Congress and implemented by the Administration to protect critical infrastructure. It also aligns with the DHS Quadrennial Homeland Security Review mission area focused on strengthening national preparedness and resilience, meaning the program is not only about preventing incidents but also about improving the ability to respond to and recover from them.
The FY 2017 IBSGP outlines three core objectives. First, it aims to help recipients build and sustain core capabilities, which refers to the essential prevention, protection, response, and recovery capacities that support homeland security preparedness. Second, it is intended to strengthen regional security cooperation, encouraging coordination among transportation providers, law enforcement, emergency management, and other stakeholders across a region rather than treating security as an isolated, organization-by-organization effort. Third, it promotes a whole community approach to security and emergency management, emphasizing that effective preparedness involves public agencies, private sector operators, and community partners working together in planning, training, and implementation.
Eligibility is aimed at owners and operators of fixed-route intercity and charter bus services, with additional details and any limiting conditions provided in the official Notice of Funding Opportunity. The program is listed under CFDA number 97.057 and was posted under funding opportunity number DHS 17 GPD 057 00 01. The opportunitys original application closing date was June 22, 2017. FEMA anticipated making around 100 awards. The published award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates that a single, fixed maximum award amount was not specified in the summary and that applicants needed to consult the full notice for funding limits, match or cost-share rules if any, and other requirements that govern award size and allowable project costs.
Overall, IBSGP for FY 2017 can be understood as a targeted federal investment in intercity bus security, focused on high-risk areas and practical protective improvements. It is meant to help bus operators reduce security gaps, coordinate more effectively with regional partners, and strengthen preparedness and resilience through concrete, risk-informed projects.Apply for DHS 17 GPD 057 00 01
