Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ318NF00005
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), within the U.S. Department of Transportation, offered a discretionary funding opportunity to award a new Cooperative Agreement called "Youth Service and Conservation Corps Workforce Development" (Funding Opportunity Number 693JJ318NF00005; CFDA 20.219). The core aim of the agreement is to help a selected recipient drive greater use of qualified youth service and conservation corps by States and regional transportation planning agencies for work that is eligible under the Federal-aid highway program. In practical terms, the funding is meant to strengthen the link between transportation agencies and youth corps organizations so that more on-the-ground transportation-related projects can be completed while also creating structured workforce development experiences for young people.
A central focus of the opportunity is workforce development tied directly to transportation careers. FHWA’s intent is not only to get projects delivered, but to expand youth employment and training opportunities that build real, longer-term career pathways into the transportation sector. By encouraging transportation agencies to contract or partner with youth corps, the cooperative agreement supports hands-on skill building, exposure to transportation occupations, and pathways that can lead into future training, apprenticeships, or jobs connected to highway and transportation work. The projects performed through these partnerships must be "appropriate projects eligible under the Federal-aid highway program," meaning the work needs to align with what federal highway funding rules allow.
The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means FHWA expects to stay involved in a more active way than it would under a standard grant, such as through collaboration, guidance, and coordination during implementation. The funding instrument type is explicitly listed as a Cooperative Agreement under the transportation funding activity category, and the opportunity is classified as discretionary.
Cost sharing or matching is not required for this award. FHWA explains that because the scope of work supports administration of the RTP, match is unnecessary. At the same time, applicants are encouraged to propose cost share if they can. If an applicant includes cost sharing, FHWA will review it during the cost/budget evaluation. Leveraging non-federal funds can be viewed favorably when it is feasible and clearly advances the program’s goals, but it is not a condition of eligibility or award.
Eligibility is broad and includes government agencies, institutions of higher learning, and nonprofit organizations (listed under "Eligible Applicants: Others"). This signals FHWA’s openness to partnering with a range of entities capable of coordinating across transportation agencies and youth corps networks, managing cooperative agreement requirements, and delivering workforce and partnership-building outcomes at a state or regional level.
Key administrative details from the posting include an award ceiling of $300,000, an original closing date of January 15, 2018, and a creation date of November 6, 2017. The opportunity does not specify the exact number of expected awards in the provided data excerpt, but it is presented as a competition intended to result in the award of a new cooperative agreement focused on expanding youth corps participation in federally eligible highway-related work and strengthening transportation workforce pipelines.Apply for 693JJ318NF00005
