Fredericksburg area metropolitan planning organization (FAMPO) 2050 long range transportation plan (LRTP) support

On July 1, 2025, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) a Formula Grant totaling $245,437.56 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant provides funding for consultant services to support the development of the Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization's (FAMPO) Constrained Long-Range Plan (CLRP), a comprehensive transportation planning document required to guide regional transportation infrastructure investments through 2050.

The funding enables FAMPO to engage specialized consultant expertise necessary to meet the statutory timeline for completing the long-range transportation plan update in the Fredericksburg metropolitan area of Virginia. This planning effort represents a typical application of FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program, which supports transportation planning, development, and improvement activities across states. The consultant services will facilitate FAMPO's coordination with local officials and stakeholders to prioritize transportation projects and develop financially constrained implementation strategies that align federal and local resources with regional transportation needs.
