Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grants aim to assist in rebuilding the aging U.S. infrastructure.
Projects eligible for funding include intermodal or rail projects, highway or bridge projects on the National Highway System, and projects increasing capacity on the Interstate Highway System.
Grants will be awarded for both large (at least $25 million) and small projects (at least $5 million).
Each fiscal year, 10 percent of available INFRA funds are reserved for small projects.
At least 25 percent of grant money will fund rural projects such as those addressing deteriorating conditions and increased fatality rates on rural transportation infrastructure.
Applications for the grants will be accepted until February 25.
