This Grant Program Includes:
- Sustainable Communities Grants – Encourage local/regional planning that supports State goals, implement Regional Transportation Plan Sustainable Communities Strategies (where applicable), and ultimately help achieve the State’s Greenhouse Gas reduction targets of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% below by 2050. Sustainable Communities grant applications may request a maximum of $700,000 and have an 11.47% local match requirement (Native American Tribal Governments are not required to include a local match).
