📢 PennDOT Multimodal Transportation Fund – 2026 Application Round
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Transportation Fund (MTF) application period opens September 14, 2026, providing municipalities, nonprofits, businesses, economic development organizations, transportation agencies, and other eligible entities an opportunity to secure funding for critical transportation infrastructure projects.
Eligible projects may include improvements that enhance transportation access, improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, strengthen connectivity, support economic development, and revitalize communities.
💰 Grant Requests: $100,000 – $3,000,000
📅 Application Period: September 14 – October 30, 2026
🤝 Required Match: 30%
Aspire Grant & Development offers two levels of assistance for organizations pursuing MTF funding:
Full Application Preparation & Assistance – Aspire can manage the grant development process with the applicant, including application preparation, narrative development, supporting documentation, budget coordination, and assistance through submission. Services are available at an hourly rate based on the level of assistance required.
Technical Assistance & Application Review – For organizations that prefer to prepare and submit their application internally, Aspire can provide technical assistance throughout the process, including review of draft narratives and application materials, identification of potential gaps or weaknesses, and recommendations to strengthen the application prior to submission.
With a relatively short application window, organizations considering transportation projects should begin evaluating project eligibility, scope, costs, match availability, and application readiness now.
