     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reconnecting Communities Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill establishes a grant program to remove, retrofit, or otherwise address infrastructural barriers (e.g., highways, railways, or viaducts) that impede mobility and connectivity, with a particular focus on communities of color and low-income communities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Under this program, the Department of Transportation (DOT) must award three types of grants:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;community engagement, education, and capacity-building grants to educate and involve community members in transportation and economic development planning;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;planning and feasibility study grants to develop designs, conduct environmental reviews, and carry out other preliminary activities required to remove, retrofit, or mitigate an infrastructural barrier; and&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;capital construction grants to remove, retrofit, or mitigate an infrastructure barrier.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;DOT must award the community engagement, education, and capacity-building grants and the planning and feasibility study grants to state, tribal, and local governments; metropolitan planning organizations; and nonprofits. An eligible entity may apply for and receive funding from more than one type of grant.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;DOT must award the capital construction grants to the owner of an infrastructure barrier. The owner may, if applicable, partner with other eligible entities.&lt;/p&gt;
