Regional infrastructure projects in California, Ohio, New Mexico, New York and Texas are getting a $4.8 million boost from U.S. Department of Transportation grants to speed up planning and preliminary design and engineering.
The funding, announced Aug. 22, was awarded under the Regional Infrastructure Accelerators program under DOT’s Build America Bureau.
“The new awards expand our geographic reach and increase the diversity of projects in the pipeline,” said Morteza Farajian, bureau executive director. “We look forward to building on this program even more later this year with another round of available funding.”
