Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) is a grant program of the U.S. Department of Transportation with $1.5 billion appropriated on a competitive basis. With a $50 million grant announced in 2010 for the Green Impact Zone, many projects have been initiated in Kansas City including improved transit-stop amenities, traffic-signals, and street and sidewalk resurfacing. With $1.42 million of TIGER funds, the Eastern Corridors of Kansas City will welcome the Blue Ridge transit center, while the North Oak Corridor can expect bus-stop improvements starting in Winter 2012.
