The U.S. DOT’s BUILD grant program provides grants for surface transportation infrastructure projects with significant local or regional impact. The eligibility requirements of BUILD allow project sponsors, including state and local governments, counties, Tribal governments, transit agencies, and port authorities, to pursue multi-modal and multi-jurisdictional projects that are more difficult to fund through other grant programs. Projects can be for planning or construction and are evaluated by their ability to address: safety; environmental sustainability; quality of life; mobility and community connectivity; economic competitiveness and opportunity including tourism; state of good repair; partnership and collaboration; and innovation.
The BUILD program was previously known as the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) and Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) discretionary grants.
Eligible Capital Project activities include: (1) Highway, bridge, or other road projects eligible under title 23; (2) Public transportation projects eligible under chapter 53 title 49; (3) Passenger and freight rail transportation projects; (4) Port infrastructure investments; (5) Surface transportation components of eligible airport projects; (6) Projects investing in surface transportation facilities located on Tribal land; (7) Projects to replace or rehabilitate a culvert or prevent stormwater runoff for the purpose of improving habitat for aquatic species that will advance the goal of the program; (8) Intermodal projects whose components are otherwise an eligible project type; and (9) Any other surface transportation infrastructure project that the Secretary considers to be necessary to advance the goals of the program. Eligible Planning Project activities include: (1) Planning, preparation, design, or engineering (e.g., feasibility studies, benefit-cost analysis, environmental analysis, permitting, and other pre-construction activities) of eligible surface transportation Capital Projects that will not result in construction with this funding; (2) Development of master plans, comprehensive plans, transportation corridor plans, and integrated economic development, land use, housing, and transportation plans; (3) Planning activities related to the development of a multimodal freight corridor; (4) Development of port and regional port planning, including State-wide or multi-port planning within a single jurisdiction or region; (5) Risk assessments and planning to identify vulnerabilities and address the transportation system’s ability to withstand probable occurrence or recurrence of an emergency or major disaster.
