The U.S. Department of Transportation announced two major infrastructure allocations, with almost $1.5 billion for potential, discretionary grants through the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) program and $677 million from the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Improvement Program (AIP) . The INFRA grant process, according to the USDOT, encourages applicants to use the program as a supplemental funding source, not a full one. The agency also indicates that the program addresses rural infrastructure needs and favors projects that use “innovative” funding strategies and new approaches to permitting and project delivery.
