Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant Program

Program Overview:

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) administers the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program, which offers grants for surface transportation infrastructure projects that have a considerable impact at the local or regional level. Eligible entities under the RAISE program include state and local governments, counties, Tribal governments, transit agencies, and port authorities, allowing them to pursue multi-modal and multi-jurisdictional initiatives that may face challenges in securing funding from other grant sources. The RAISE program, formerly known as the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) and Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) discretionary grants, was created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and continued through annual appropriations until it was officially authorized by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) in November 2021.
