Opportunity Information: Apply for NSMFHP 22 INFRA 22
The INFRA Grants opportunity is a U.S. Department of Transportation competitive funding program focused on rebuilding and modernizing nationally significant transportation infrastructure, with an emphasis on projects that strengthen freight movement and supply chains. For this funding round, DOT is packaging INFRA within a broader Multimodal Projects Discretionary Grant (MPDG) framework that combines three major discretionary grant programs into a single application pathway. The goal is to simplify the process for state and local applicants, reduce administrative burden, and increase the number of high-quality, ready-to-advance ("shovel-worthy") projects that can move forward under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
INFRA specifically targets highway, multimodal freight, and rail projects that can deliver clear national and regional benefits. DOT highlights outcomes such as improved transportation safety, reduced congestion, stronger economic performance, better system resilience, and measurable progress on eliminating freight chokepoints that contribute to supply chain delays. The program is also framed around broader public policy goals: creating good-paying jobs, supporting long-term economic growth, reducing emissions, improving sustainability, and expanding transportation options in rural areas and other underserved communities. In practical terms, this means DOT is looking for projects that do more than fix an isolated asset; they should show how the investment improves movement of people and goods, supports reliable access to markets, and lowers costs tied to transportation inefficiencies.
Funding for INFRA is significantly boosted by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Over five years, the law provides about $8 billion for INFRA, and this specific Notice of Funding Opportunity makes approximately $1.55 billion available. The scale and competitiveness of the program are underscored by prior demand: DOT reported receiving more than $10 billion in applications the previous year while only being able to fund around $1 billion worth of projects. That history signals that applications need to be well-justified, strongly scoped, and supported by evidence of benefits and readiness.
Eligible applicants span most major public-sector transportation actors. Applicants may include a state or group of states; metropolitan planning organizations serving urbanized areas with populations over 200,000; local governments or groups of local governments; political subdivisions of a state or local government; special purpose districts or public authorities with transportation functions (including port authorities); federal land management agencies applying jointly with a state or group of states; tribal governments or consortia of tribal governments; multistate corridor organizations; and other multistate or multijurisdictional partnerships made up of eligible entities. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of the Under Secretary for Policy, and is offered as a discretionary grant (CFDA 20.934). The opportunity referenced a closing date of May 23, 2022, and listed an award ceiling of $1,320,050,000, indicating DOT anticipated making awards up to that total cap for the round covered by the notice.
Overall, INFRA is best understood as a highly competitive federal investment tool aimed at large, high-impact transportation projects, particularly those that unlock freight efficiency and improve network performance. Strong applications typically demonstrate broad public benefits (safety, reliability, economic impact, resilience, environmental gains), clear project readiness, and a compelling case that the project meaningfully advances regional or national transportation and supply chain goals.Apply for NSMFHP 22 INFRA 22
