About this opportunity
The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration is offering the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Grants program, a competitive $2.7 billion grant opportunity over 5 years as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This grant funds surface transportation infrastructure projects of national or regional significance. Eligible applicants include states, metropolitan planning organizations, local governments, tribes, and other transportation entities. Applications will be evaluated on six outcome criteria: safety, state of good repair, economic impacts/freight/jobs, climate/resilience/environment, equity/multimodal/quality of life, and innovation. The deadline to submit applications is May 6, 2024.
The INFRA program is part of the broader $5.1 billion Multimodal Projects Discretionary Grant (MPDG) opportunity, which combines three major discretionary grant programs over two fiscal years. Applicants can submit a single application to be considered for multiple MPDG grant programs, reducing the burden for state and local applicants. The funding is available nationwide, with no specified location or quantity of goods/services required.
Synopsis
The Department is combining three major discretionary grant programs and two fiscal years of funding into one Multimodal Projects Discretionary Grant (MPDG) opportunity to reduce the burden for state and local applicants and increase the pipeline of "shovel-worthy" projects that are now possible because of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) program is a competitive program. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides approximately $8 billion for INFRA over 5 years, of which approximately $2.7 billion will be made available through this NOFO.
Applications will be evaluated on six outcome criteria, economic analysis, project readiness, and statutory requirements. The six outcome criteria are: (1) safety; (2) state of good repair; (3) economic impacts, freight movement, and job creation; (4) climate change, resilience, and the environment; (5) equity, multimodal options, and quality of life; and (6) innovation areas: technology, project delivery, and financing.
Applicants that wish to submit the same application to be considered for more than one grant program under the MPDG combined NOFO only need to submit their application through one Grants.gov opportunity number and that application will be considered for all programs for which it is not opted-out or ineligible. It is not necessary to submit multiple of the same application under the other MPDG Grants.gov opportunities.
