Working with FHWA

BIL grants are creating significant opportunities for local governments by offering direct federal funding for projects that promise substantial community impact. Despite these opportunities, many local governments possess minimal or no experience in navigating the complexities of federal compliance. Recognizing this gap, the Build America Center has partnered with FHWA to facilitate a smoother interaction between these local agencies and the federal government. 

The Build America Center is actively developing a series of introductory videos. These resources are designed to aid local public agencies in understanding the essential procedures and critical issues involved in federal collaborations. The videos aim to distill complex regulations into manageable information, enabling local agencies to efficiently comply with federal requirements and effectively manage federal grants.
