Municipalities of every size have a transportation project they need to fund. Finding alternative ways to pay for these projects, or lessen the burden on your taxpayers, is not always easy. In addition, the grant landscape has shifted, making it unclear which programs are still available, and which are not.  VLCT keeps track of this, so municipalities don’t have to!  

In this session you will learn:

• What transportation funding opportunities still exist in the current funding landscape.
• How program priorities at the federal level have shifted and where the focus now lies.
• What successes and challenges your peers doing the same work have experienced.
• Where to locate resources to increase your capacity for writing and managing grants.

Presenter

About the Grants and Funding Chat Series
This bi-monthly series from our Municipal Operations Support team helps local government officials and staff learn about specific funding opportunities and ways to make their funding applications more competitive. Each topic-oriented event begins with a presentation then transitions to a participant Q&A, where attendees can ask questions of the presenter and each other. Bring your questions, share your challenges, and learn from other communities.
