RAISE Grants
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program provides grants for surface transportation infrastructure projects with significant local or regional impact. The eligibility requirements of RAISE allow project sponsors to pursue multi-modal and multi-jurisdictional projects that are more difficult to fund through other grant programs.
