Miovision Grant Guide
In November of 2021, Congress passed what amounts to a generational investment in our nation’s infrastructure. Included in that legislation were numerous new programs that can be used by State and local governments to expand access, reduce carbon emissions, and improve equity by funding transit projects. Miovision has generated this grant guide for stakeholders to better understand the options that are available. This guide is not a definitive list of programs; however, we have included many of the programs that were designed to inspire and fund better transit in this country.
Formula Funding vs Competitive Grants
While many of these new programs come in the form of competitive grants, it is also important that a vast majority of Federal transportation funding goes to States, transit agencies, and local governments in the form of formula funds. IIJA significantly increased those formula funds and while this guide does not include references to those formula programs, we strongly urge all of our partners to understand and inquire as to how and if they can utilize formula funds for specific projects. If you have questions about the formula programs or would like to talk with someone about Federal funding, please contact grants@miovision.com.
