DOT Competitive Grants Dashboard
The Department of Transportation Competitive Grants Dashboard is an online tool that helps communities identify federal transportation and infrastructure grant opportunities. The dashboard highlights programs with rural and Tribal set-asides, match waivers, and funding opportunities from both DOT and other federal agencies. It is updated weekly and includes filters for transportation type, applicant eligibility, and funding requirements. The site also links to the DOT Navigator, a resource that helps communities prepare competitive grant applications and manage infrastructure projects.
