Consolidated planning grant (CPG) - distribution for grand forks-east grand forks MPO

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $129,884.26 to the North Dakota Department of Transportation on August 7, 2025, under the Metropolitan Transportation Planning and State and Non-Metropolitan Planning and Research program (CFDA 20.505). This formula grant funds consolidated planning activities for the Grand Forks–East Grand Forks Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in North Dakota. The award supports the development of comprehensive transportation planning products and services, including the preparation of long-range transportation plans, Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs), Unified Planning Work Programs (UPWPs), and associated technical studies required for coordinated multimodal transportation planning in the urbanized area.

As a formula grant distributed through the state to the designated MPO, the funding enables the Grand Forks–East Grand Forks MPO to conduct planning activities that incorporate public input, address multimodal transportation needs, and support federal compliance requirements. The FHWA administers this program to facilitate balanced transportation planning that enhances mobility, safety, and connectivity while serving both urbanized and non-metropolitan areas within the region.
