This $4,124,999.00 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) program was provided to the Tennessee Department of Transportation. The grant funds the acquisition of big data tools to improve transportation planning and system performance monitoring in Tennessee. The Tennessee Department of Transportation has extensive experience delivering transportation infrastructure construction, preservation and improvement projects using federal formula grant funding, including resurfacing highways, installing guardrails and signs, rehabilitating bridges, and constructing sidewalks and other bicycle/pedestrian facilities. As a sub-recipient, the department has also overseen local government transportation projects using pass-through federal dollars.
