The federal Department of Transportation announced several large grants to Massachusetts for transportation and transit projects last week, including a $2 million award for planning and design work at JFK-UMass MBTA station.

The MBTA’s petition for a $99.9 million federal matching grant to reconstruct the station, formerly known as Columbia, was not funded.

The agency submitted an application for the larger sum last fall as part of the federal “Reconnecting Communities program,” which made $607 million available nationally.

MBTA officials say they will continue planning efforts for the station and apply again in the next round for construction funds. The program, MBTA officials noted, is extremely competitive and in a previous round in 2023 had 682 applicants.

The T has also sought federal funds for the replacement of part of the Savin Hill bridge, but there have been no awards announced yet for that round of funding.

The state will also receive $2 million in federal grant dollars for a project in Mattapan that will “reconnect two parts of the neighborhood that have been separated for years.” More details will be available in the coming weeks, state officials said.
