The U.S. Department of Transportation is now accepting applications for $5.1 billion in grant funding for projects of regional or national significance for three major discretionary grant programs.
The department has combined the application for three grant programs into the single Multimodal Project Discretionary Grant Program (MPDG) opportunity, according to a USDOT press release.
Under the first two years of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, the law provided nearly $8 billion in grants to communities through the MPDG program to help rebuild the nation’s infrastructure. The MPDG now streamlines applications for funding from the National Infrastructure Project Assistance (Mega) program; the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) program; and the Rural Surface Transportation program.
Applications for this most recent round of funding will be evaluated based on how well they advance outcomes including safety, economic impacts, job creation, equity, innovation and climate goals.
The deadline for applications is May 6. Applicants can find the notice of funding opportunity and other information here.
