The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has a need to establish and operate a Bicycle and Pedestrian Technical Information Center (the "Center"). To accomplish this work a Grant Agreement is contemplated. It is anticipated that the grant will be awarded to a national, not-for-profit organization engaged in promoting bicycle and pedestrian safety. In addition to the FHWA, the Center will support and augment the efforts of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Transit Authority, and the Federal Railroad Administration to increase the safety and use of bicycling and walking by providing technical information and assistance through a clearinghouse operation. The Center will also develop and deliver information, training and educational programs to its users. The Center must also disseminate techniques and strategies for improving bicycle and pedestrian safety. The recipient of this grant must be able to coordinate its efforts with all of the United States Department of Transportation Agencies listed, not just the FHWA. In addition, the recipient shall pursue partnerships with other organizations and explore additional funding mechanisms for the purpose of expanding the Center and its safety clearinghouse operation.
