Georgia DOT’s live Competitive Funding Proposal page is accepting applications for a CMAQ-focused competitive funding cycle serving eligible Georgia local and regional governmental transportation entities. Applicants generally need at least a 20% local match and must be able to front project costs for reimbursement of no more than 80% of eligible costs. The current official page does not publish a controlling application deadline, deadline time zone, current-cycle funding pool, or per-project request ceiling, so Atlas is holding ORIGINAL outreach and package production pending verification.
Required next actionContinue authoritative GDOT monitoring for the controlling current-cycle deadline/time zone, total funding availability, per-project request limits, current sample application/FAQ/overview, and any amendments. Before any ORIGINAL outreach, verify the applicant is an eligible Georgia local/regional governmental transportation entity, the project is in a CMAQ-eligible area and eligible project class, local match and reimbursement capacity are credible, and then clear verified business Contact, Email_Opt_Out, permanent-bounce, Deal, Atlas_Email_Queue, authoritative prior-send, and cross-lane deduplication gates.

Georgia DOT is currently receiving and processing FY2027 Local Maintenance & Improvement Grant applications from Georgia counties and cities through its electronic GRANTS system. FY2027 allocations are formula-based on local road mileage and population, with jurisdiction-specific 10% or 30% local match requirements. The current GDOT public page does not publish a statewide FY2027 submission deadline, so Atlas is keeping applicant-specific ORIGINAL outreach fail-closed pending deadline confirmation.
Required next actionFor a specific Georgia county or city, verify the jurisdiction's published FY2027 LMIG formula amount and 10% or 30% match, confirm the current GRANTS submission deadline with the responsible GDOT District State Aid Coordinator or controlling portal instructions, and assemble the required project list, cover letter, signed/sealed/notarized signature page, project costs, estimated letting dates, and prior three fiscal years' LMIG completion status. Complete authoritative CRM, Contact, Atlas_Email_Queue, opt-out, permanent-bounce, and prior-send-history gates before any ORIGINAL outreach.
Draft verification hold — the current live grant page says the 2026 application will tentatively open October 8 and close November 20 at 11:59 p.m., but a separate TIME Task Force calendar page still shows September 30. Final 2026 application and deadline-specific time zone are not yet published.

Georgia TIME Task Force and GDOT are preparing the 2026 TIME Task Force Grant for eligible Georgia city and county traffic-incident-management agencies. Awards may be up to $20,000 for approved TIM equipment. The current live program page states a tentative October 8-November 20, 2026 application window with an 11:59 p.m. deadline, but does not publish a deadline-specific time zone.
Required next actionMonitor the live TIME Task Force grant page and calendar for reconciliation of the October 8-November 20 tentative window versus the still-published September 30 calendar event. Require the final 2026 application form, exact deadline time zone, complete current checklist, and any amendments before applicant outreach. Once open, qualify specific Georgia city/county TIM agencies for Open Roads Policy endorsement, agency-head authorization, active TIM participation, current-grant overlap, equipment need, and GDOT pre-approval requirements; then clear verified business Contact, Email_Opt_Out, permanent hard bounce, Deal, Atlas_Email_Queue, authoritative prior-send, and cross-lane deduplication gates.
