Posted on September 11, 2023 |

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is accepting applications for its Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) and Neighborhood Access and Equity (NAE) Programs until September 28. Up to $3.16 billion is available for planning and construction projects. Townships are eligible to apply. Under the combined program, USDOT is offering three grants: 

Community Planning Grants will award RCP and/or NAE funds to planning activities for construction projects to address local transportation challenges.  
Capital Construction Grants will award RCP and/or NAE funds to projects that remove, retrofit, mitigate, or replace an existing dividing transportation facility with a facility that reconnects communities; mitigate a facility that is a source of air pollution, noise, stormwater, heat, or other burdens; or implement a strategy to reduce environmental harm and/or improve access.  
Regional Partnerships Challenge Grants will award NAE funds to a project led by two or more applicants to address a persistent regional challenge related to equitable access and mobility.
