Virginia agency accepting applications for rail, transit grant funds
The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) is now accepting applications for rail, transit and commuter assistance grants for fiscal-year 2023.
The annual grant application period runs through Feb. 1, 2022.
Rail, transit and commuter assistance funds are available through multiple state and federal sources to support public transit service, human service transportation, senior transportation and rail programs in Virginia.
Once the application period closes, DRPT will evaluate the submissions and submit recommended project funding to the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) for the Draft FY2023 Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP).
A series of statewide public hearings will be held before the CTB considers the final adoption of the FY23 SYIP in June 2022, DRPT officials said in a press release.
