INFRA Grants

The INFRA Project Information Form is a critical document for federal grant applications, requiring detailed project information for evaluation. Applicants must provide a concise project name, identify the project sponsor, and select a funding track. A brief, 100-word project description is required, focusing solely on the project's physical scope, not its benefits. Comprehensive cost breakdowns are necessary, including requested INFRA funds, other federal funding, non-federal funding, future eligible costs, and previously incurred costs, all summing up to the total project cost. The form also categorizes future eligible costs by project type, such as National Highway Freight Network, National Highway System, Intermodal Freight, and others. Location details, including state(s), urban area population (with a 200,000 threshold for urban designation), zip code, county(ies), census tract(s), and precise latitude/longitude coordinates, are essential. Additional information sections cover programming in various transportation plans (TIP, STIP, MPO, State Long Range, State Freight), other USDOT or federal agency applications, previous MPDG or INFRA submissions, tribal government involvement, private corporation benefits, and interest in TIFIA/RRIF or Department financing programs. A comprehensive list of urban areas with their populations is provided for reference.
