Cities, towns and villages are winning federal grants to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure due to the historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Passed by Congress and signed by President Biden on November 15, 2021, this legislation represents a historic opportunity for local access to federal infrastructure funding to rebuild transportation, water, broadband and more.
The Rebuilding America dashboard is a new resource showing which cities, towns and villages have successfully received direct federal grants from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as of November 29, 2023. The dashboard contains announced and awarded funding made publicly available by the White House. New awards are released by federal agencies on a rolling basis, and there are many opportunities for local governments to apply for available grants.
How to Use the Dashboard
Within this interactive tracker, users can select search filters below, such as by location and spending types, or search through the map to find detailed information on city plans for deploying BIL program funds.

* Please see the bottom of the page for source notes and terms of use. The dashboard includes grants delivered directly to cities or city equivalents. It does not include grants won by cities in collaboration with other entities. The data was last updated on December 20th, 2023, and contains updated project data released by the White House on November 29, 2023, with new announced funding (recent as of October 31, 2023) and awarded funding (recent as of August 31, 2023). Future versions of this tracker will include more information as data is released.

Join the 600+ Cities Empowered by the Local Infrastructure Hub to Apply for Federal Infrastructure Funding
In its fourth series, the National League of Cities is launching a new set of free grant-writing “bootcamps” this fall to keep pace with new federal grant opportunities. The bootcamps have already helped 600+
small and mid-sized cities develop competitive federal grant applications, offering peer counseling, office hours, and technical support. The upcoming bootcamps will focus on several grant opportunities available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, including the Safe Streets and Roads 4 All (SSR4A) and Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-saving Transportation (PROTECT) grant programs, clean energy, and clean water.
