The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 included $1 billion in funding to establish the Reconnecting Communities Pilot program. This discretionary grant program will distribute approximately $200 million annually for the next 5-years.
The program’s funds can support planning, capital construction, and technical assistance to equitably and safely restore community connectivity through the removal, retrofit, mitigation, or replacement of eligible transportation infrastructure facilities that create barriers to mobility, access, or economic development.
It is expected that the official notices of funding opportunity (NOFO) will be released this summer. States, units of local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, metropolitan planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations are eligible to apply. Grants can be used for planning activities, technical assistance, and capital construction costs.
