The U.S. DOT says on a web page that the RAISE program uses “a rigorous merit-based process to select projects with exceptional benefits, explore ways to deliver projects faster and save on construction costs, and make needed investments in our Nation’s infrastructure.”
The program receives $1.5 billion a year from the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act along with additional congressional appropriations. It is the current iteration of three national infrastructure investment programs. Earlier programs included the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development, or BUILD, discretionary grants and the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER, grants.
“In [Washington,] D.C. the funding will go towards bicycle, and pedestrian improvements, including accessibility enhancements and traffic signal upgrades,” said Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, Washington’s non-voting delegate in the House, in an email. “I’m pleased DOT has announced these grants for similar projects across the country.”
The projects receiving funds in this year’s RAISE grant program include the following:
