Statewide - OWP 24/25 - CPG consolidated planning grant (CPG) project for overall work programs for fiscal year 2024/2025 (TC)

The Federal Highway Administration awarded $19.43 million to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on July 3, 2025, under the Metropolitan Transportation Planning and State and Non-Metropolitan Planning and Research program (CFDA 20.505). This formula grant supports statewide consolidated planning activities for fiscal year 2024/2025, including the development of overall work programs (OWP) that guide transportation planning across California. The funding enables Caltrans to conduct comprehensive transportation planning analyses, coordinate with metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and develop long-range transportation plans and improvement programs that enhance mobility, safety, and connectivity across the state's multimodal transportation networks.

The grant supports essential planning functions including the creation of unified planning work programs, technical transportation studies, and coordination mechanisms between state and local transportation authorities. These planning activities incorporate public input for transportation system design and project selection, consistent with federal requirements under CFDA 20.505. The funding allows Caltrans to facilitate transportation planning across both urbanized and non-metropolitan areas of California, ensuring equitable distribution of planning resources and supporting the development of data-driven transportation improvement initiatives aligned with federal transportation priorities.
