Projects must be within the boundary of a port or outside of the boundary of a port and directly related to port operations or to an intermodal connection to a port. 

‍

There is approximately $450 million in funding available under this round of the program. 

‍

Eligible Applicants

Eligible applicants include states, political subdivisions of states, and special purpose districts with transportation functions.

‍

Important Dates 

Applications are due on April 30, 2025.

With the increasing number of opportunities of interest to CTE and our members, we are not able to pursue projects to the same extent as we have in the past. However, if you are interested in pursuing funding under this opportunity, CTE may be able to support your application through our Grant Writing as a Service program. If you have questions regarding this program please contact Wendy Morgan ([email protected]).
