Transportation grants with open deadlines

12 currently open · refreshed daily

DOT funding — transit, highway safety, active transportation — flows overwhelmingly to state and local governments, but nonprofits appear as eligible applicants for rural transit operations, senior and disability transportation, and safety education programs. Community transportation nonprofits should watch for FTA Section 5310 related listings. For everyone else this is a category to monitor occasionally rather than daily; the alert digest covers it so you don't have to. Currently open listings below.
