Arcadis to provide technical assistance and advisory services in support of USDOT's Thriving Communities Program

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has selected Arcadis to provide technical assistance and advisory services as a Capacity Builder Team for the department's Thriving Communities Program. The total award for the team is $5.1 million.

As a Capacity Builder and one of the first-ever technical advisory teams for USDOT, Arcadis and its partners, The Ray, InfraStrategies and Beverly Scott Associates, will support 15 disadvantaged Networked Communities across the U.S. in developing projects around sustainable infrastructure, improved mobility and more.. The Networked Communities are located near airports, ports, rail and freight facilities and are one of four communities of practice receiving technical advisory services within the Thriving Communities Program.

"Arcadis is thrilled to be part of the team delivering this once-in-a-lifetime investment. Collaborating with the USDOT and our partners to provide sustainable infrastructure, clean energy, jobsand economic development through technical advisory services will help our underserved communities grow and succeed,” said Tamae Partain, global program manager, Arcadis.

The team will work with the USDOT and pre-selected communities to determine project scopes and apply for funding afforded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. A total of 64 Thriving Communities program recipients were announced in April. A two-year program period will begin in summer 2023.
