Municipal road and bridge construction projects; application for funding for construction measures on state roads
The Free State of Bavaria grants subsidies for construction measures on state roads.
Description
Purpose
The Free State of Bavaria grants subsidies to administrative districts and municipalities which, for example, have assumed a special construction obligation for the construction of a local bypass or a relief road in the course of a state road or which have assumed modification costs for certain intersections or the costs for certain footpaths and cycle paths.
Subject
The following can be funded from the Bavarian Fiscal Equalisation Act (Art. 13f BayFAG)
- Local bypasses or relief roads in the course of state roads in the special building obligation of the municipality,
- Modifications of existing intersections of state roads with district and/or municipal roads,
- dependent (foot and) cycle paths on state roads,
- construction of cycle lanes as independent cycle paths within the meaning of Art. 53 No. 2 of the Bavarian Roads and Paths Act, which are of particular importance for supra-local traffic (cycle lanes),
insofar as a municipality (or, in the case of intersections and cycle paths, a district) assumes the costs.
Recipients of funding
Municipalities can receive funding for measures on state roads if they assume the special construction obligation for local bypasses or the costs for dependent footpaths and cycle paths. Counties or municipalities can receive funding if they bear the costs for changes to existing intersections of county and/or municipal roads with state roads or for the construction of cycle paths.
Eligible costs
Reference is made to No. 6 of the Guidelines for Grants of the Free State of Bavaria for Road and Bridge Construction Projects of Municipal Construction Authorities (RZStra).
Type and amount
Funding will be granted on a pro-rata or fixed-amount basis in relation to the eligible costs. The amount of funding is determined in accordance with No. 7 of the RZStra.
Prerequisites
- The remaining financing of the project or of a construction phase with its own transport significance must be guaranteed.
- The type and scope of the project must be urgently required to improve traffic conditions.
- The project must be flawless in terms of construction and traffic engineering, protect the natural environment, the landscape and land as far as possible and be planned in accordance with the principle of economic efficiency and economy.
- The needs of people with disabilities or mobility impairments must be taken into account.
- Funding in accordance with Art. 13f BayFAG is only possible if the eligible costs exceed the de minimis limit of 50,000 euros.
- The funding quota for new projects to be included in the program is limited. If the demand for funding significantly exceeds this quota, priorities are set according to the following aspects:
- 1st priority: bypasses or relief roads
- 2nd priority: (Sidewalks and) bicycle lanes or bicycle expressways
- 3rd priority: Modification of intersections. In the first instance, if there is a high demand for funding, intersections are to be financed with cost sharing in accordance with the Bavarian Roads and Paths Act. The share of the local authority responsible for construction can then generally be funded from the Bavarian Municipal Transport Financing Act.
- The project must be coordinated at an early stage with the State Construction Office responsible for the state roads.
Procedure
The application for funding must be submitted to the responsible district government.
Deadlines
The project must not have been started yet.
Please note that there is a deadline for the submission of applications for grants from funds under Article 13f BayFAG. Applications must be submitted by 1 September of the year preceding the start of funding at the latest.
