The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has $98 million to invest in America’s aging pipeline infrastructure. The money is part of the Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization grant program.
“Modernizing gas distribution pipelines will save lives and protect America’s energy future,” said PHMSA Administrator Paul Roberti. “We look forward to working with local communities to minimize leaks, prevent accidents, and help make families’ energy bills a little more affordable.”

PHMSA’s Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization grant program provides funding for city- and community-owned utilities to repair, replace, or modernize aging, leak-prone gas distribution pipeline systems.
The NGDISM Grant program provides close to $1 billion in grant funding over five years, to improve the safety and efficiency of high-risk, actively leaking, or leak-prone natural gas distribution infrastructure. Grant funding may be used to repair, rehabilitate, or replace existing gas distribution pipeline infrastructure. Grantees may also acquire equipment intended to reduce incidents and fatalities and avoid economic losses, such as leak detection and line locating equipment. This is the final year of the program.The Notice of Funding Opportunity outlines the application criteria. Partners are encouraged to submit eligible projects as soon as possible but must do so by May 22, 2026.
