PLTP's Beyond the Rails Grant Program
Connecting with neighboring communities as their long-term partner is a top priority of Purple Line Transit Partners, the Maryland Transit Administration’s private-sector partner. To tangibly support organizations working to make our region a better place to live, work and play, we sponsor the Beyond the Rails community grant program. PLTP is the sole funder and administrator of the program. Please contact grants@purplelinepartners.com with any questions or for assistance in completing the grant application.
