“Winning” at Federal Discretionary Grant Funding


PennDOT provides support for agencies seeking BIL Federal Discretionary Grant Funding through a website, grant alerts, resources, guides and more.

Pennsylvania has the opportunity to compete for billions of dollars in federal funds across a wide range of federal grant programs through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), also known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). To help communities and organizations learn about these opportunities, PennDOT has created a detailed rundown of federal grant opportunities to help municipalities, townships and other community agencies with understanding the multiple transportation program grants that are available.

The BIL/IIJA page is located on PennDOT's website at www.penndot.pa.gov/IIJA and includes Grant Alerts, guides and links to important resources for local municipalities and organizations interested in pursuing federal funding opportunities.

Current opportunities include:

You'll find each Grant Alert on the webpage in the links above – each Alert provides information about the grant, including eligibility and application due dates, project timeframes, as well as areas of emphasis and support.

Our goal is to ensure that all Pennsylvania agencies are prepared to apply to the programs for which they are eligible, and to bring these much-needed dollars home to Pennsylvania.
