The Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) Program aims to advance and support reconnection of communities divided by transportation infrastructure – with a priority of helping disadvantaged communities improve access to daily needs (jobs, schools, healthcare, grocery stores, and recreation). Funds are to be awarded on a competitive basis to support planning and capital construction activities that aim to restore community connectivity through the removal, retrofit, mitigation or replacement of highways, roadways, or other infrastructure facilities that create barriers to mobility, access or economic development. Community Planning grants are capped at $2M each, and the minimum Capital Construction Grant is $5M. There is $457M available for Capital Construction Grants for FY2024, and $150M for Community Planning Grants for FY 2024.
