USDOT is now accepting applications for its FY2023 Thriving Communities Program (TCP).

TCP will provide up to $22 million in funding for Capacity Builders to provide technical assistance, planning, and capacity building support to disadvantaged and under-resourced communities across the U.S. to help them advance the transformative transportation projects needed to thrive. 

This year’s program includes a pilot to fund state and regional TCP activities.

In addition, local, tribal, and regional governments along with their community partners are invited to submit a Letter of Interest to receive two years of no-cost technical assistance as well as three years of facilitated peer learning opportunities.
