It may seem tangential, but it's not. Recently, the US Dept of Labor (DOL) announced a funding opportunity under the America's Promise initiative for competitive grants to organizations that create or expand regional partnerships between employers, economic development interests, workforce development programs, educational institutions, et al., to foster the creation of effective job creation "pipelines" in their region.
A total of $100 million is available. DOL anticipates awarding grants of between $1 million and $6 million. For more information, visit the Employment and Training Administration website, or go to www.grants.gov to make your application. The deadline for applications is August 26, 2016.

A first look at the DOT's Final Rule on Transportation Planning
Last month, the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration jointly issued a new set of rules on statewide and metropolitan transportation planning. To adapt Vice President Biden's phrase, these rules strike me as a "big freakin' deal."
I looked at the regulations through the lens of what interests and concerns me, and wrote this stuff up as a document you'll find on this site at http://web1.ctaa.org/webmodules/webarticles/articlefiles/CTAA_DOT_Planning_Rule_Analysis.pdf.
If you see errors or omissions, or if there are things you'd like to share or see explained, drop me a note, anytime, at chris.zeilinger@gmail.com.
