U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced on Tuesday that applications for TIGER III grants totaled $14.1 billion, far exceeding the $527 million set aside for the program.  The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) received 828 applications from all 50 states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia.
