Thriving Communities Program
Grant Opportunity – Department of Transportation
The Thriving Communities Program is focused on three components:
• Main Streets
• Complete Neighborhoods
• Networked Communities
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) invites Letters of Interest from eligible applicants interested in receiving two years of technical assistance, planning, and capacity building support from the Thriving Communities Program (TCP). This step will help applicants compete for federal aid and deliver quality infrastructure projects that enable their communities and neighborhoods to thrive.
Eligibility: Letters of Interest must be submitted by a state, local, or Tribal unit of government or similar. Non-profit Main Street programs can encourage local or state governments to apply and be a part of the local partnership. Applicants must include a lead applicant and at least two community partner organizations.
Letter of Interest Deadline: December 6, 2022
