As per USDOT and Build America Bulletin Bureau, due to technical issues applicants experienced when attempting to apply for Rural and Tribal Assistance (RTA) Program funding, the application portal has been closed. The RTA program will not review any applications submitted and no grants will be awarded from applications submitted during the portal opening between March 18 and March 21, 2025. USDOT appreciates the efforts of communities to prepare applications and regret any inconvenience.
The issues are currently being resolved and a new date for the application submissions will be established as soon as possible. All communities interested in FY24 RTA funding must apply when the portal reopens – this includes any community that applied between March 18 and March 21, 2025.
The Bureau will announce the new date on grants.gov, LinkedIn and the RTA Program webpage: https://www.transportation.gov/buildamerica/RuralandTribalGrants.
