Federal Agency

Sub-Department

N/A

Purpose

To give up to 10 States additional flexibility to determine the Federal share on a project, multiple-project, or program basis for projects under any of the following funded under the National Highway Performance Program, the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program, the Highway Safety Improvement Program, the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program National Highway Freight Program, the Carbon Reduction Program, and the PROTECT grant program.

Applicant and/or Project Eligibility Requirements

All states are eligible for this program.

Decarbonization Considerations

This pilot program allows participating states to reduce cost sharing requirements for various decarbonization programs offered by DOT, shifting up to 100% of project costs to the federal government.

Equity Considerations

This pilot program could encourage less-resourced states to participate in DOT decarbonization programs, not just those that can afford cost matches. Based on the programs referenced, US territories and Tribal governments may be eligible to apply, but that should be confirmed with the administrators and/or Secretary prior to proceeding.
