USDOT is hosting a two-part webinar series to help potential DOT grant applicants effectively tell their community’s story in the planning, project development, and/or grant application process.
Part 1 of the webinar series (July 22) will focus on how to identify and describe a project and its goals, identify users of the infrastructure or system, and determine the project’s impact area. Participants will receive step-by-step information and recommendations, and presenters will use examples to illustrate each of the concepts. The webinar will conclude with a brief Q&A session. The webinar will be recorded and posted on the DOT Navigator.

Part 2 of the webinar series (August 15) will introduce participants to DOT’s Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer tool and provide detailed information on how to use the tool to map a project area, identify how a community is experiencing disadvantage, and evaluate how project benefits may address the community’s disadvantage. This information will build on the content presented during Part 1 of the webinar series. Participants are encouraged to register for both or review the Part 1 materials before attending Part 2.
