Coming in early 2024 Illinois Statewide Planning and Research Program funds administered through the Illinois Department of Transportation.  These are transportation funds for non-engineering transportation studies and for transportation data needs.

Federally, local governments can check the following link for the latest federal discretionary grants: USDOT Key Notices of Funding Opportunity https://www.transportation.gov/bipartisan-infrastructure-law/key-notices-funding-opportunity.  Federal grants require registration in Grants.gov, and EUI-Entity Identifier, a 12-character unique number assigned to all entities who must register to do business with the federal government in SAM-System for Award Management.  If you are considering a federal grant, it will be important to have an EUI and be registered in SAM.
