Opportunity Information: Apply for NSFHP 19 INFRA19
The INFRA Grants opportunity, formally known as the Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects (INFRA) program, offers federal financial assistance for major highway and freight-related transportation projects that have national or regional importance. The FY 2019 notice invites applications on a competitive, discretionary basis, meaning projects are selected through a merit-based competition rather than by formula allocation. Funding is subject to the availability of appropriated federal funds, and the administering entity is the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of the Under Secretary for Policy (Agency code 69A345). The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 20.934, with an original application deadline of March 4, 2019, and an award ceiling noted at $810,000,000.
For this funding round, the Department centers its evaluation around four main objectives. First, projects are expected to support economic vitality at both the national and regional level, which generally points toward investments that improve freight movement, reduce congestion, strengthen supply chains, and support broader economic competitiveness. Second, applicants are encouraged to leverage federal dollars to attract non-federal investment, signaling a preference for proposals that bring matching funds or complementary financing from state, local, tribal, or private sources. Third, the program places emphasis on innovation, including deploying innovative technologies, using creative approaches to project delivery, and making use of innovative financing mechanisms where appropriate. Fourth, there is a strong accountability focus, meaning recipients are expected to be held responsible for performance outcomes and to demonstrate that the project will deliver measurable benefits consistent with the program goals.
Eligibility is broad across public-sector transportation stakeholders. Eligible applicants include a state or group of states; metropolitan planning organizations serving urbanized areas with populations over 200,000; units of local government (or groups of local governments); political subdivisions of a state or local government; special purpose districts or public authorities with a transportation function (including port authorities); federal land management agencies applying jointly with a state or group of states; tribal governments or consortia of tribal governments; and multi-state or multi-jurisdictional groups of public entities. The opportunity also allows joint applications, but they come with clear coordination requirements: participating states or jurisdictions must designate a lead applicant as the main point of contact, every participating entity must independently meet the definition of an eligible applicant, and the submission must spell out each partner’s roles and responsibilities. Joint applications must also be signed by each participating applicant, reinforcing that all parties are formally committed to the proposal and its delivery responsibilities.Apply for NSFHP 19 INFRA19
