Do transportation grants help transform people’s lives and shape communities? Yes, they do. Our modern world depends on the ability to get from point A to point B safely and quickly. Population growth demands we keep up with needed transportation infrastructure. Unfortunately, there are many underserved rural areas that simply don\u2019t have the local funding to maintain current roadways, let alone provide important improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, GrantWatch<\/a><\/strong> has a list of transportation grants designed to enhance the well-being and prosperity of rural communities. In fact, funding is for transportation safety and efficiency, reducing air pollution, addressing critical highway needs, and improving air quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you do to help? Improving your community travels beyond hard infrastructure. As a result, sometimes grants can encompass policy and innovation initiatives as well. ‘Soft infrastructure’ grants can have a substantial impact on you and your community by focusing on economic, cultural, and social issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nationwide Impact of Transportation Grants<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In 2022<\/a><\/strong>, the Department of Transportation launched the Rural Surface Transportation<\/a><\/strong> Program, including the first round of funding awards. Altogether, $273.9 million went to rural transportation projects in communities across the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the federal government set aside $675 million to improve and expand US infrastructure in rural areas. Moreover, the funds promise to generate regional economic growth and improve quality of life by addressing improving highways, tunnels, and bridges. In addition, agricultural, commercial, and transportation facilities can use this money for freight, safety, and access in an effort to support the economies of their rural communities. Be sure to look over GrantWatch’s list of cooperative agreements, scholarships, and other soft infrastructure funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, there are lots of grant options from which to choose. Be sure to check out the specific category in the GrantWatch directory for Transportation Grants<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
