How are AHSC Applications Scored?
The AHSC program is competitive and awards the highest scoring projects. Projects are scored and evaluated by project area type: TOD: Transit Oriented Development, ICP: Integrated Connectivity Project, or RIPA: Rural Innovation Project- so, for example, projects in urban areas of the City of Los Angeles do not compete directly with projects in more suburban areas in the Inland Empire.
Note: The below is not yet updated for the next Round 6 of funding and should be considered as general guidance.
The scoring criteria is divided by three categories, for a total of 100 Points:
