OpportunityTitle: Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) Program
Description: The United Stated States Department of Transportation (USDOT) is requesting applications for the Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) discretionary grant program through the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The RCP Program aims to advance and support reconnection of communities divided by transportation infrastructure &#8211; with a priority on helping disadvantaged communities improve access to daily needs (jobs, schools, healthcare, grocery stores, and recreation). Funds for the fiscal years (FY) 2024, 2025, and 2026 RCP grant program are to be awarded on a competitive basis to support planning and capital construction activities that aim to restore community connectivity through the removal, retrofit, mitigation or replacement of highways, roadways, or other infrastructure facilities that create barriers to mobility, access or economic development. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law specifies that the maximum Community Planning Grant award funded with RCP funds is $2&#8239;million and that the minimum Capital Construction Grant award funded with RCP funds is $5 million. Applications will be submitted through Valid Eval, but the signup links are not yet available. We expect this to be a brief delay.
