Route 66 Cost-Share Grants

National Park Service Route 66 Cost-Share Grant Program

The Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program has provided cost-share grant assistance to support the preservation of the most significant and representative historic Route 66 buildings, structures, road segments, and cultural landscapes in the eight states through which the route passes. Assistance has also been provided to support research, planning, oral history, and educational outreach projects related to the preservation of Route 66.

Program cost-share grant funds are provided through congressional appropriations, which are determined each new fiscal year. Project eligibility criteria requires a minimum 50% (1:1) cost-share match provided by the applicant. All preservation, restoration, and rehabilitation projects are required to conform to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

The cost-share grant program is subject to revision based on congressional appropriations and continued development of programmatic strategies and guidelines. A grant cycle will not currently be offered. Check back for future updates.
