Bridge Investment Program, Planning and Bridge Project Grants is sponsored by USDOT / Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). This program provides funding for projects to replace, rehabilitate, preserve, or protect bridges on the National Bridge Inventory. It includes grants for planning activities and for bridge projects with total eligible costs not greater than $100 million.
The program aims to improve safety, efficiency, and reliability of movement over bridges and improve their condition in the United States. While state and local governments are primary applicants, the program has expanded eligibility to include metropolitan planning organizations, local, and tribal governments as direct recipients. Nonprofits are not directly listed as eligible applicants for this program.
However, nonprofits could potentially partner with eligible entities on specific projects related to bridge infrastructure. Therefore, the fit score is lower because the direct eligibility is not confirmed, but the focus area aligns perfectly.
