The Thriving Communities Program (TCP) provides planning, technical assistance, and capacity-building support to enable communities to advance a pipeline of transformative infrastructure projects that will increase mobility options, facilitate efficient land use, and connect communities to the essential opportunities and resources that will help them thrive. 

TCP was funded by $25 million through the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022 and Congress appropriated an additional $25 million for TCP to the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) through the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. In total, the program supports 176 communities across 48 states, including eight Tribal Nations and Puerto Rico.

 
USDOT’s Build America Bureau administers TCP, which is one of several programs to help communities deliver critical infrastructure projects that enhance safety, efficiency and economic prosperity.
