The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has released a
Notice of Funding Opportunity for $900 million for the Better
Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD)
Transportation Discretionary Grants Program.
Funds for the Fiscal Year 2019 BUILD Transportation grants
program will be awarded on a competitive basis for surface
transportation infrastructure projects that will have a
significant local or regional impact. The BUILD program directly
awards grants to local governments for projects that are not
generally eligible for funding under existing surface
transportation formula programs, including those which increase
the quality of life and economic competitiveness of communities
across the country, particularly in rural areas. BUILD funding
can support roads, bridges, transit, rail, ports or intermodal
transportation.
Applications must be submitted by 8 p.m. ET on July
15, 2019.
To learn more about the BUILD application process, please
register for one of DOT’s upcoming webinars.
