Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program is run by Department of Transportation. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $27.1 million in 17 grants, about $1.6 million per award.

## Objectives

To finance projects of national or regional significance by filling market gaps and leveraging substantial non-Federal and private co-investment. Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) credit assistance is intended to facilitate the financing of projects that would otherwise have been significantly delayed because of funding limitations or difficulties accessing the capital markets. Through TIFIA, the USDOT provides Federal credit assistance to eligible highway, transit, passenger rail, intermodal freight (including access to seaports), surface transportation facilities at airports, rural infrastructure, and transit-oriented development projects.
