Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) is now accepting applications for the 28th year of funding through the Better Roads Grant Program to support projects on municipal roads that improve water quality and result in maintenance cost savings. The grant funds are provided by AOT in partnership with the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. The Vermont Better Roads Program promotes the use of erosion control and maintenance techniques that save money while protecting and enhancing water quality throughout the state.
The application scoring of the Better Roads Program is intended to be in line with the State’s Clean Water Act (Act 64) and the Municipal Roads General Permit (MRGP). In an effort to prioritize funding for projects that are providing significant water quality improvements, applicants must indicate whether the projects that they intend to construct will be in full compliance with the MRGP. Please see the application and scoring sheet for more information, and contact the Better Roads staff listed above with any questions.
Applications for funding will be accepted until December 27, 2024.
