What This Grant Funds

The primary goal of the Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight and Highway Projects (INFRA) program is to fund surface transportation infrastructure projects of national or regional significance that improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of people and goods in addition to expanding safe, accessible public parking for commercial motor vehicles.

The Department intends to execute project selections under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) utilizing approximately $626.7 million in available funding. Specifically, this total includes:

• $319.8 million in FY 2023 INFRA funds;

• $106.9 million in FY 2024 INFRA funds; and

• $200 million in FY 2026 INFRA Commercial Motor Vehicle Parking funds.

The Department intends to make project selections using the currently available resources identified in this notice, as well as any additional funding that may become available for the program.

Funding is administered through two distinct tracks: Track 1 utilizes FY 2023 and FY 2024 resources to support surface transportation projects of national and regional significance, while Track 2 is a dedicated carve-out of FY 2026 resources specifically for commercial motor vehicle parking projects of national or regional significance. Applicants must clearly identify their chosen track in the Project Information Form, as each track is subject to different selection priorities.

Each applicant may submit only one application. Unrelated project components should not be combined into a single application to meet this limit. If an applicant submits more than one application, only the first will be considered.
