“This program will help regional transportation agencies deliver projects more effectively, benefitting communities around the country,” Morteza Farajian, Executive Director of the U.S. DOT's Build America Bureau, said in a statement.
These awards follow a December 2020 solicitation for projects for the Regional Infrastructure Accelerators Demonstration Program. The program, which was created in the FAST Act and funded through the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020, is designed to inform future work by measuring how different regional accelerator models can expedite development and delivery of transportation projects.
