NOTE: This program was re-named to the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Program.  Information listed in this solicitation is for historic purposes only. 

The FASTLANE program provides an opportunity to address nationally or regionally significant challenges across the nation's transportation system including improving the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the movement of freight and people; generating national or regional economic benefits and increasing the United States' global competitiveness; reducing highway congestion and bottlenecks; enabling more efficient intermodal connections; minimizing delays at international borders; improving inadequate first and last mile segments; modernizing port facilities to meet 21st Century demands, including connections between ports and their surface transportation systems; enhancing the resiliency of critical intermodal infrastructure and helping protect the environment; improving grade crossings; improving roadways vital to national energy security; and addressing the impact of population growth on the movement of people and freight.

The Department will also consider whether projects enhance personal mobility and accessibility. Such projects include, but are not limited to:

• Investments that better connect people to essential services such as employment centers, Health care, Schools and education facilities, Healthy food, and recreation;
• Remove physical or operational barriers to access;
• Strengthen communities through neighborhood redevelopment;
• Mitigate the negative impacts of freight movement on communities– such as road or railroad crossing congestion; and
• Support workforce development, particularly for disadvantaged groups, which include low-income groups, persons with visible and hidden disabilities, elderly individuals, and minority persons and populations.   

The program also offers resources to advance highway and bridge projects on the National Highway System (NHS), including those that improve mobility through added capacity on the Interstate or address needs in a national scenic area.
