Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced recently that the Department of Transportation (DOT) is now taking applications for the Reconnecting Communities and Neighbors Program.
The streamlined program, which combines two key grant programs created in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, will ease the process of applying and increase opportunity for communities seeking funding for projects that address harm from past infrastructure planning decisions, accelerate equitable community revitalization, and improve access to everyday destinations.
