The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that they have $10 million available to distribute as grants for select projects and activities that help advance the state’s transportation and planning goals.  The application deadline is March 30th.

Awards will be chosen based on the ability to study or implement a goal, strategy or objective of IDOT’s Long-Range Transportation Plan or one of the agency multimodal plans, such as transit, rail, bike, freight, and highway safety plans.  Eligible activities include planning studies, data collection and analysis, research and program development, performance management, and outreach efforts.

To receive these grants, applicants must agree to provide a funding match of 20% and proposals that benefit disadvantaged or financially distressed communities will be given top priority. To learn more and to apply you can visit https://idot.click/lrtp.
