Municipal road and bridge construction projects; application for funding for investments to improve traffic conditions

The Free State of Bavaria grants subsidies for municipal road and bridge construction measures if they are urgently needed to improve traffic conditions.

Description

Purpose

The Free State of Bavaria grants subsidies to districts and municipalities for the construction or expansion of municipal roads, insofar as they are urgently needed to improve traffic conditions.

Object

The following projects can be funded from the Bavarian Municipal Transport Financing Act (BayGVFG):

Construction or expansion of:

  • important roads
    • local roads with the exception of service and access roads
    • feeder roads to the supra-local traffic network,
    • inter-urban roads,
    • independent footpaths and cycle paths,
    • public field and forest paths that are important for bicycle traffic,
  • special lanes for buses,
  • roads in connection with the decommissioning of railroad lines,
  • intelligent roadside traffic systems to increase the safety and ease of traffic,
  • public transfer facilities on roads to reduce motorized private transport,
  • public traffic areas for freight transport centers designated in development plans, including the associated municipal development facilities located in these traffic areas in accordance with Sections 127 and 128 of the German Building Code (Baugesetzbuch)

in the responsibility of municipalities or administrative districts as well as

  • dependent footpaths on federal, state and district roads,
  • dependent cycle paths on state and district roads

in local thoroughfares for which the municipalities are not responsible for construction;
irrespective of the responsibility for construction, projects in accordance with letters e and f can also be funded if they are carried out by independent municipal companies under public law or municipal companies in private legal form.

Construction is to be equated with new construction. Expansion means a structural change to the location, cross-section or load-bearing capacity of existing traffic routes that is urgently required to improve traffic conditions. This also includes the construction of traffic light systems at junctions and an increase in the load-bearing capacity ("substance increase") of engineering structures.

If construction projects are development projects in accordance with §§ 127 ff. of the German Building Code (BauGB), only costs that are not attributable to development costs can be funded.

Recipients of grants

Grants can be awarded to administrative districts, municipalities and municipal associations, provided that they are responsible for the construction of the eligible roads.

Eligible costs

Please refer to No. 6 of the Guidelines for Grants of the Free State of Bavaria for Road and Bridge Construction Projects of Local Authorities (RZStra).

Type and amount

Proportional or fixed-amount funding is granted in relation to the eligible costs. The amount of funding is calculated in accordance with No. 7 RZStra.

Prerequisites

  • Due to the applicant's financial resources, the project can only be realized if government grants are awarded.
  • The remaining financing of the project or a construction phase with its own traffic significance must be guaranteed.
  • The type and scope of the project must be urgently required to improve traffic conditions.
  • The requirements of regional and state planning must be taken into account and the other legal requirements must be met.
  • The project must be planned in such a way that it is structurally and traffic-technically sound, preserves the natural environment, the landscape and land as far as possible and takes into account the principle of economic efficiency and economy.
  • The needs of people with disabilities or restricted mobility must be taken into account.
  • The project must be coordinated in advance with related urban development plans and measures.
  • The project must be provided for in a land use plan, a general transportation plan or an equivalent plan for the assessment.
  • Funding from BayGVFG funds is only possible if the eligible costs exceed the de minimis limit of EUR 100,000, or more than EUR 50,000 in the case of important inter-urban roads, footpaths and cycle paths in local thoroughfares of federal, state and district roads whose carriageway is not the responsibility of a municipality, independent footpaths and cycle paths and public field and forest paths that are important for cycling. There are no de minimis limits for interchanges and crossing measures in accordance with the Railway Crossings Act.
  • The funding contingent for new projects to be included in the BayGVFG program is limited. Inclusion in the program does not constitute a legal entitlement to funding within a certain period of time. If demand exceeds this quota, the individual governments will set priorities.

Procedure

The funding application must be submitted to the responsible district government.
