INFORMATION & POLICY

The Department of Transportation annually funds approximately $32 billion in grants and cooperative agreements. Guidance for departmental formula and discretionary grant programs is contained in their authorizing legislation, program regulations, or departmental regulations. This guidance generally includes general project management requirements and the limitations, if any, on spending authority. Departmental grants are generally made to State and local governments, with a lesser amount going to Indian tribes, universities, and nonprofit organizations. These grants are normally used to assist these entities in the planning, design, and construction of transportation improvements (e.g., highway, transit, and airport improvements). A limited amount of funding is available for research and development projects.
