The MMA will host a webinar on Jan. 13 covering transportation-related grants available to communities across Massachusetts.
Kristen Rebelo, community grants administrator at the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, will provide an overview of several competitive grant programs administered by MassDOT, and will discuss the Chapter 90 municipal road and bridge maintenance program, which provides formula funding to all communities.
Rebelo will provide an introduction to MassDOT’s “Grant Central” community grants portal, a hub of information and resources about available MassDOT grants, including Chapter 90, Complete Streets, Local Bottleneck Reduction Program, Municipal Pavement, Municipal Small Bridge, and Shared Streets and Spaces.
MassTrails Director Amanda Lewis and MassTrails Grants Program Manager Eli Velluti-Fry from the Department of Conservation and Recreation will give an overview of the MassTrails Grant program. The competitive grants support recreational trail and shared-use pathway projects across the state.
Online registration is available for the 75-minute webinar, which will begin at noon. Only MMA members may register. MMA members include elected officials and municipal employees from MMA member communities across the state. Media members are not permitted to attend.
