Funding from the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program (RCP Program) reconnects disjoined communities by removing, retrofitting, or mitigating transportation facilities such as highways and rail lines that block community connectivity. RCP funding is available through two grant programs: planning grants and capital construction grants. Both planning and construction grants are available under the RCP program to address infrastructure barriers, reconnect communities, and improve quality of life. Eligible projects can include high-quality public transportation and infrastructure removal. Natural infrastructure, like linear parks and trails, roadway redesigns, complete street conversions, and main street revitalization, also qualify for funding.
