Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grants support the implementation of comprehensive neighborhood revitalization plans that are expected to achieve the following three core goals:

- People: Improve outcomes of households living in the target housing related to employment and income, health, and children’s education; and
- Neighborhood: Create the conditions necessary for public and private reinvestment in distressed neighborhoods to offer the kinds of amenities and assets, including safety, good schools, and commercial activity, that are important to families’ choices about their community.

The Advanced Transportation Technologies and Innovative Mobility Deployment Program (ATTIMD), also known as the Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Program, provides funding to deploy, install, and operate advanced transportation technologies to improve safety, mobility, efficiency, system performance, intermodal connectivity, and infrastructure return on investment. These model technology deployments are expected to provide benefits in the form of:
- reduced traffic-related fatalities and injuries, traffic congestion and improved travel time reliability, and/or transportation-related emissions;
- optimized multimodal system performance;
- improved access to transportation alternatives, including for underserved populations, and/or integration of payment systems;
- public access to real-time integrated traffic, transit, and multimodal transportation information to make informed travel decisions;
- cost savings to transportation agencies, businesses, and the traveling public; and/or
- other benefits to transportation users and the general public.
