- Intermodal transportation projects
- Projects investing in surface transportation facilities that are located on tribal land and for which title or maintenance responsibility is vested in the federal government
U.S. Department of Transportation will consider geographic diversity among recipients, including the need for a balance between the needs of urban, rural, and tribal areas, as well as investment in a variety of transportation modes.
Eligible applicants include:

- Port authorities
- Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs)
