Small Urban Program

The Small Urban Program offers essential federal funding through the Surface Transportation Program to communities with populations ranging from 5,000 to 49,999.

This program supports both road and transit capital projects, ensuring that vital infrastructure developments are accessible to smaller urban centers.  Approved projects under this program must be within the federal-aid highway system and the federal urban area boundary.
