Scout IIJA Competitive Grants Tracker

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a Federal Lands Management Agency which, under the Federal Lands Transportation Program (FLTP), may receive funding to improve its transportation infrastructure. IIJA increases FLTP funds used to improve public safety and reduce vehicle-caused wildlife mortality while maintaining habitat connectivity, and requires FLTP projects to consider using native plants and designs that minimize runoff and heat generation, among other changes.

This program supplements State and local resources to improve transportation facilities providing access to, adjacent to, or located within federal lands, with a priority for high-use recreation sites and economic generators. IIJA adds new eligible activities under FLAP to include context-sensitive solutions, wayfinding markers, landscaping, and cooperative mitigation of visual blight; increases set-aside funds for transportation planning; and makes projects eligible for 100% federal share, among other changes.

This program provides grant or credit assistance to nationally and regionally significant multimodal freight and highway projects that align with program goals. IIJA adds entity eligibility for multistate corridor organizations and project eligibility for wildlife crossings, surface transportation projects connected to international border crossings, and marine highway projects functionally connected to the National Highway Freight Network; and allows up to 30% of INFRA funds to be used for non-highway freight projects.

This is a provision in the Rural Surface Transportation Grant which requires no more than 10% of funds to be granted to small projects less than $25 million.

Under IIJA, the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects Program (INFRA) additionally sets aside funds for the State Incentive Pilot Program, which prioritizes applications that offer the greatest non-Federal share of project costs.

The Bridge Investment Program additionally sets aside grants for eligible projects that may be used for development phase activities including planning, feasibility analysis, and revenue forecasting.

This program, part of the Bridge Investment Program, sets aside annual funds for tribal transportation bridges.

This new IIJA program provides appropriations from the General Fund to replace, rehabilitate, preserve, protect, and construct bridges on public roads. 75% is distributed based on relative costs of replacing the state's poor condition bridges, and 25% is based on relative costs of rehabilitating fair condition bridges.

This new IIJA program provides competitive discretionary grants to states, MPOs, local governments, Indian Tribes, and other public entities to strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging and hydrogen/propane/natural gas fueling infrastructure and other alternative fuel corridors.

These discretionary grants are part of the National Electric Vehicle Formula Program, and set aside 10% of program funding to State and local governments that require additional assistance to strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure.
