Discretionary Grants Dashboard
Updated weekly, the DOT Discretionary Grants Dashboard provides communities with an overview of discretionary grant opportunities that can help meet their transportation infrastructure needs.
Designed with all communities in mind, the Dashboard identifies grant programs with rural and tribal set-asides or match waivers available, and includes non-DOT federal grant programs that may be of interest to rural communities.
Caltrans Office of Federal Programs
OFP supports local agencies and other federal awardees in navigating federal funding opportunities to enhance California's transportation infrastructure.
They provide guidance on the efficient use of federal funds, ensure compliance with federal requirements, and facilitate the successful delivery of local transportation projects.
