2023 RAISE Grant Program Deadline February 28, 2023

RAISE discretionary grants help project sponsors at the State and local levels, including municipalities, Tribal governments, counties, and others complete critical freight and passenger transportation infrastructure projects. The eligibility requirements of RAISE allow project sponsors to obtain funding for projects that are harder to support through other U.S. DOT grant programs.

Half of the funding will go to projects in rural areas, and half of the funding will go to projects in urban areas. At least $15 million in funding is guaranteed to go towards projects located in Areas of Persistent Poverty or Historically Disadvantaged Communities, and projects located in these areas will be eligible for up to 100 percent federal cost share, as directed by Congress in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

The NOFO is available here<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001gjUrlviNczb9Yf0Q0IWanhwKG39skSWSwBj_r1m6XA0OmdY1SWLN8kSb_AlhPayTVfJ2gdvRw0C8a7oEbISniiBJPUkkT_pDjNZfvSjMSTm_64786Ltw8w_gn9CdfKp3HRcdWh_ZuTVpDAMFGaxF04WMMQtYA5NvojWRBl7IbYRhYNcisQNAawKNpH95b4vT&c=3KwZRKzba1xz3EHf83sHbzwtrou2EIfFxWBZnW66brD1G-tvRf2QMw==&ch=jEp5aBHHSXebhzS5wsNbaN7UV-lixPdu2i_c6ROAks6lGWG-n3xZSg==>.

Evaluating the Critical Need for Broadband Sustainability Funding on Rural Tribal Lands

A White Paper By Douglas K. Kitch, CPA and Christopher S. Barron
on behalf of The National Tribal Telecommunications Association

This White Paper focuses on framing the case for critically needed “sustainability funding” in an effort toward resolving the digital divide that currently exists between broadband availability on Tribal lands and broadband availability throughout the rest of the United States.

NTIA Advancing Internet For All Mapping Challenge Continues

In order to meet the urgency of this moment to connect the unconnected, NTIA will continue to target June 30 as the date by which they will allocate each state and territory’s BEAD Program funding for high-speed Internet service. NTIA and the FCC have worked closely with states to assist them in the process of improving the National Broadband Map to achieve this goal.

NTIA encourages states to continue to submit challenges to this map, which is meant to be a living document. Continued improvements will move us that much closer in making Internet for All a reality.

Broadband: National Strategy Needed to Guide Federal Efforts to Reduce Digital Divide
A GAO Report

Broadband is critical for daily life. It provides a digital lifeline to education, work, and healthcare. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for broadband access for all Americans. The President set a goal for universal broadband access by 2030.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) was asked to review federal broadband efforts. This report examines: (1) fragmentation and overlap among federal broadband programs and potential limitations to improved alignment and (2) the extent to which interagency coordination efforts are guided by a strategy, among other objectives.

An Inventory of Federal Broadband Programs can be found on Page 44 (Appendix II) of the Report.

The full report can be read here<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001gjUrlviNczb9Yf0Q0IWanhwKG39skSWSwBj_r1m6XA0OmdY1SWLN8kSb_AlhPayTdF6GrokL4wFxK7sor368DvsvORWgwPfckoIP25-UzTaavsfKwpxT7I4nLP78xXqGr3uhBl6ZUXIEbD4xBoBz34sxYAprerXjSBW5GVYqReNGz6me4CIH3_LCymL1b7QAU0RI1kfOoqhD0zno0BNNL-pSlWTCTEfFFqYiY6GjlS4=&c=3KwZRKzba1xz3EHf83sHbzwtrou2EIfFxWBZnW66brD1G-tvRf2QMw==&ch=jEp5aBHHSXebhzS5wsNbaN7UV-lixPdu2i_c6ROAks6lGWG-n3xZSg==>.

Households are likely eligible if income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line, or if a household member currently receives a government benefit like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, Pell Grant, or Free and Reduced-Price Lunch.

If a household is eligible, they could receive:

  *      Up to a $30/month discount on internet service
  *      Up to a $75/month discount if household is on qualifying Tribal lands
  *      A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer

(with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)

  *      A low cost service plan that may be fully covered through the ACP*

* Through a separate non-FCC initiative, additional no cost plans may be available to Affordable Connectivity Program enrollees.

Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is allowed per household. To receive the connected device discount, consumers need to enroll in the ACP with a participating provider that offers connected devices (Note: not all internet company offer device discounts.)
