Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
SS4A grants provide funding to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Whether your city would like to use funding to add additional sidewalks or improve existing roadways, there are several ways to apply this funding and implement safety measures. This training will also help participants consider the climate change and environmental impacts of their project.
Developing Clean Energy Projects
Is your city looking to advance clean energy initiatives? The Inflation Reduction Act includes a provision that provides non-taxable entities investing in clean energy with a direct payment option instead of tax credits. Local leaders can use direct pay as an option to develop clean energy projects. This training will focus on grant applications for various clean energy projects and help cities navigate financing solutions like the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) to turn sustainability goals into actionable projects.
Rail Infrastructure improvements (RCE/CRISI Grants)
Is your city looking to improve rail safety? The Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) and Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Grants provide funding for highway-rail grade crossing projects. Eligible projects include track relocation, protective devices, and safety improvements. Local governments can use this funding to enhance rail infrastructure and promote safety. This training will guide you through applying for these grants with a focus on safety, equity, and sustainability in your city’s projects.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF)
Are you looking to improve water quality for your residents? This training is designed to help you seek federal low-interest loans to support water quality infrastructure projects in your community. Eleven categories of eligible projects are included, including the construction, repair, and replacement of publicly owned treatment works that enhance energy efficiency, water conservation, recycling, and stormwater management.
Grant Implementation, Compliance and Management
If your city has won federal infrastructure grant funding but has faced challenges navigating the complexities of infrastructure management, this training is for you. Cities without extensive federal grant experience often face a steep learning curve. This training is tailored to equip cities with the critical skills and knowledge they need—including procurement, federal compliance, and streamlined grant reporting—to implement their infrastructure projects confidently.
