Statewide planning - transit planning project

This federal Formula Grant award for $700,316.25, issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Metropolitan Transportation Planning and State and Non-Metropolitan Planning and Research program (CFDA 20.505), supports a statewide transit planning project in Rhode Island.

The grant funding will enable the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), the primary awardee, to conduct comprehensive transportation planning activities, including developing long-range transportation plans, transportation improvement programs, and technical studies to enhance mobility, safety, and connectivity across Rhode Island's multimodal transportation network. Specific project activities may include highway and bridge construction planning, traffic signal upgrades, pedestrian infrastructure improvements, data analytics, and specialized studies on transit access, complete streets, and zero-emission fleet transitions. As the state's transportation agency, RIDOT will leverage this grant to improve transportation infrastructure and accessibility for Rhode Island residents and visitors.
