Late last month, the Department of Transportation (DOT) awarded nearly $500M in TIGER grants to projects throughout the nation. Unfortunately, Arizona was passed over for this round of funding.
All 50 states submitted applications for this funding: 585 eligible applications were received, totaling $9.3B in requested funds. Since the program’s inception in 2009, a combined $5.1B has been granted to projects in all 50 states and major territories, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and tribal communities.
