The Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP) helps protect surface transportation infrastructure and the traveling public from acts of terrorism and increase the resilience of transit infrastructure. This funding provides owners and operators of intercity bus systems with resources for implementing the National Preparedness System and works toward the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient nation. This document outlines key changes for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 IBSGP.

Cost Information Moved from the Preparedness Grants Manual

The majority of information on funding restrictions and allowable costs has moved from the Preparedness Grants Manual (PGM) to the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Please refer to Section D of the IBSGP FY 2024 NOFO for detailed information on these cost categories.

FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO) System

Applicants must apply to the IBSGP on the new FEMA GO platform. The previous Non-Disaster Grants (ND Grants) platform will become a legacy system for grant programs from FY 2023 and earlier. For more information about FEMA GO, please review Section D of the IBSGP NOFO and FEMA Grants Outcomes (FEMA GO) | FEMA.gov for additional guidance and tools.
