Resources

DOT Navigator

• The DOT Navigator is a new resource to help communities understand the best ways to apply for grants, and to plan for and deliver transformative infrastructure projects and services.
   

• Utilize the DOT Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Year Ahead Checklist to see how your community can get ready to successfully apply for the many discretionary grant programs that will be coming out this year. The checklist includes a link to the FY 2023 Calendar of Upcoming Notices of Funding Opportunity, and a list of programs that provide non-federal match flexibility and the construction grant programs that require a benefit cost analysis.
