Connect Dublin FY2024 RAISE Grant Application



Project Description
This project will fund planning activities for future improvements to approximately 13.5-miles of city-owned roadway, drainage, and pedestrian facilities, along with other various corridor improvements. Planning elements include a feasibility study; bicycle-pedestrian study; data collection; environmental screening; community outreach; conceptual design; and economic analysis.

Project Benefits
The project will plan for the creation of active transportation corridors and incorporate design elements that protect pedestrians, cyclists, and others as well as reduce the number of crashes. Planning efforts will seek to expand affordable transportation options for low-income residents by developing a network of multimodal paths and safe street infrastructure to help to reconnect isolated neighborhoods and reduce reliance on costly vehicle travel. Planning efforts will also seek to address disconnected sidewalks and unsafe intersection crossings.



What is RAISE?

The Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity, or RAISE Discretionary Grant program, provides a unique opportunity for the DOT to invest in road, rail, transit, and port projects that promise to achieve national objectives. Previously known as the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) and Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Discretionary Grants, Congress has dedicated nearly $14.3 billion for fifteen rounds of National Infrastructure Investments to fund projects that have significant local or regional impact.
