RAISE Grant Program

Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program provides grants for surface transportation infrastructure projects with significant local or regional impact. The eligibility requirements of RAISE 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. The RAISE program was previously known as the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) and Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) discretionary grants.

Additional Information:
Eligible projects for RAISE grants are capital projects including but not limited to: * highway, bridge, or other road projects eligible under title 23, United States Code; * public transportation projects eligible under chapter 53 of title 49, United States Code; * passenger and freight rail transportation projects; * port infrastructure investments; * the surface transportation components of eligible airport projects; * projects to replace or rehabilitate a culvert or prevent stormwater runoff for the purpose of improving habitat for aquatic species while advancing the goals of the RAISE program; * projects investing in surface transportation facilities that are located on Tribal land; and * any other surface transportation infrastructure project that the Secretary considers to be necessary to advance the goals of the program. Planning projects which include planning, preparation, or design (for example - environmental analysis, equity analysis, community engagement, feasibility studies, benefit cost analysis (BCA), and other pre-construction activities) of eligible surface transportation capital projects that will not result in construction with this funding.
