The Biden administration is pushing to award grants and move funds to projects funded by signature infrastructure and climate measures before President-elect Donald Trump takes over.

Many of the grants will go toward electrification plans for port infrastructure and vehicles.

If spending levels contained in House Republicans’ fiscal 2024 transportation appropriations bill become law, the port grant program could face cuts of more than 60%.

Department's combined application, now called the Multimodal Project Discretionary Grant program, has an Aug. 21 deadline.

 Alaska wins the most funds, while California gets the most grants.

Retired U.S. Army Gen. Stephen R. Lyons will lead efforts to improve cargo flow at U.S. ports and untangle slowdowns in the sprawling domestic freight supply chain.

Corps, BuRec funds go for port, inland waterways, flood protection and rural projects to improve freight flow, provide climate change resilience and help disadvantaged communities.

Airport terminal grant funding is just year one of five-year $5B program.

Winning projects are in coastal, Great Lakes and inland river locations.

Plan includes target dates for advancing more than $4 billion in infrastructure grants.
