About this archived opportunity

Planning and Capacity Building grants have the flexibility to support many different types of planning and capacity building activities to ensure that CARB funds can help meet the needs of each community within that community’s context. Planning and Capacity Building projects could include community transportation needs assessments, educational resources and programs, workforce training, community decision-making, feasibility studies, land use and mobility plans, and much more. For a full list of example project types, refer to page 15 of the Request for Applications (RFA). This RFA is a two-phase process. First, Applicants will apply to the Concept Phase by September 8, 2023. The Concept Phase is intended to reduce the resources needed to apply for funding while still providing sufficient information for CARB to evaluate the proposed projects. Interested parties must apply to the Concept Phase to be considered for the Full Phase and eventual funding awards. Technical assistance is available to support potential Applicants. To receive guaranteed technical assistance, Applicants must sign up by August 11, 2023, but Applicants are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible to begin receiving assistance earlier in the application process.
