The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is has announced project solicitations for the Greater Minnesota Transportation Alternatives and Carbon Reduction programs. 

The Transportation Alternatives Solicitation is a competitive grant opportunity for local communities and regional agencies to fund projects for pedestrian and bicycle facilities, historic preservation, Safe Routes to School and more. Minnesota will be soliciting projects for approximately $12.5 million in available grant funding across the state where the total is sub-targeted to the seven area transportation partnerships (ATPs). Full grant applications are available through the TA Regional Representatives.

The Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) is a new program created by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) with the purpose to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from on-road highway sources. The CRP provides Minnesota with approximately $21 million annually over five years to fund projects that reduce carbon emissions from surface transportation. Program funding is distributed across the state, with some funds allocated proportionally based on population. MnDOT Districts, Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and area transportation partnerships (ATPs) select projects to receive CRP funding.
