Published: December 20, 2024
All grantees of US DOT’s Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods (RCN) Grant Program can request RCI’s support for their transportation reconnection grant projects.
On March 13th, 2024, U.S. Department of Transportation announced $3.3 billion in grant awards for 131 projects in 41 states and D.C. through the RCN Grant Program. These projects support community development through improved connectivity, safety, and livability.
Communities that received RCN planning, capital, or regional partnership funding can sign up to receive RCI’s free technical assistance to help implement their RCN-supported projects.
Through RCI, RCN grantees will have access to tools, resources, and guidance on a range of topics to help advance their projects to the next stage. This includes:
- Customized technical assistance to address RCN grantees’ unique project needs, including answering questions, reviewing documents, creating resources and tools, and providing strategic guidance.
- Expert-led in-person and virtual peer-to-peer learning opportunities across topics like designing safe streets, building community partnerships, and financing a construction project.
- Access to a Community of Practice for collaboration and shared learning between RCN Program grantees.
- Flexible, self-directed online training modules.
- Resource and tool creation to help participants develop and launch successful projects.
If you received an RCN grant, request support from RCI today! The form takes just a few minutes to complete.
