The Local Infrastructure Hub is hosting a webinar on the 2025 Low or No Emission and Buses and Bus Facilities grants, featuring key updates, changes to the programs, and firsthand insights from mayors on managing awards and meeting federal requirements.
The Local Infrastructure Hub, in collaboration with Accelerator for America, is hosting a webinar to discuss how local governments can secure federally funded technical assistance in support of leveraging public funds to attract private investment in transportation innovation. Whether it be for highway, transit, passenger rail, freight facilities, port projects, rural infrastructure projects, airports, or transit-oriented development projects, the Innovative Finance and Asset Concession (IFAC) Grant Program, which is currently accepting applications, allows local governments to access technical assistance and expert support for innovative financing strategies like public-private partnerships and asset concessions. IFAC grants must be used for advancing projects that are eligible for the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program, which provides low-interest loans and other credit assistance for surface transportation projects. Together, these programs play a critical role in advancing transformative infrastructure projects by making them financially viable and reducing taxpayer burden. Register today to get access to winning strategies for securing IFAC grant funds. Speakers include Jennifer Hara, Acting Head of Innovative Finance (Technical Assistance), Build America Bureau at the U.S. Department of Transportation and Ben McAdams, Vice Chair of the Site Readiness Fund.
The Local Infrastructure Hub will be offering a new series of Workshops beginning in Fall 2025. Registration is open and dates will be confirmed at a later date. During a half-day workshop, participants will gain grant-specific guidance on high-value federal funding opportunities and learn how to navigate application requirements, align projects with funding criteria, and strengthen implementation readiness. Participants will also have access to office hours with subject-matter experts. Brownfields program funds may be used to address sites contaminated by hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. This workshop will help cities understand how to apply for types of grants that allow communities, states, tribes and others to assess, safely clean up and sustainably reuse contaminated properties. This workshop will take place on Oct 9, 2025 at 12:00 PM E.T.

Cities can use this funding to develop safety action plans, redesign high-risk corridors, or implement infrastructure improvements like sidewalks and crosswalks. This workshop will explore how local governments can apply SS4A Planning and Implementation funding to advance roadway safety and address the needs of all road users.
