Reconnecting Communities (Pilot) (RCP) Grant Program.

Background

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law established the new RCP discretionary grant program, funded with $1 billion over the next 5 years. The purpose of the RCP Program is to reconnect communities by removing, retrofitting, or mitigating transportation facilities, like highways or rail lines, that create barriers to community connectivity, including to mobility, access, or economic development. The program funds planning and capital construction to address infrastructure barriers, reconnect communities, and improve peoples’ lives.

The RCP Program will provide up to $195 million for two types of grants: Planning Grants and Capital Construction Grants
