From July 2022 to March 2026, the Local Infrastructure Hub supported 6,950+ local officials across 2,500+ cities nationwide, providing workshops, one-on-one expert support and practical tools to strengthen grant applications and implementation.
Though the Hub’s programming has ended, the content and learnings it provided are still relevant. The National League of Cities has collected these resources into an archive and invites its members to explore the ongoing grant programs for videos, fact sheets, and more resources that will help you access federal funding opportunities.
The RCE/CRISI programs fund improvements to rail infrastructure. Both programs support highway-rail or pathway-rail grade crossing improvement projects, promoting safety and mobility for people and goods. Communities can use grant funding for track relocation, improving or installing protective devices, signals, or signs, improving safety, and conducting environmental audits of eligible projects. Specific activities vary by grant program.
