Rights of way program management

The District of Columbia Department of Public Works received a $500,000 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant supports the agency's Rights of Way Program Management project, which involves assembling and documenting data on DDOT-controlled lands in Washington, D.C. and developing a geospatial land data map. The funding also provides annual resources for surveys, title searches, appraisals, and other land acquisition and disposal activities to prepare for future capital projects. Additionally, the grant enables the coordination of draft air rights agreements and land transfer agreements with private developers and federal government agencies. This grant contributes to the agency's comprehensive approach to transportation infrastructure planning, development, and maintenance for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
