Integrated mobility division (IMD) bicycle and pedestrian coordination activities. Statewide

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) a Formula Grant of $212,025 on June 26, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This three-year award supports two staff positions within NCDOT's Integrated Mobility Division (IMD): an Engineer III and a Program Analyst II. These positions will manage the division's bicycle and pedestrian programs and projects through statewide engineering, program management, data analysis, and planning activities.

The funded activities advance multimodal transportation infrastructure development by promoting non-recreational bicycle transportation and pedestrian improvements across North Carolina. These initiatives reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality through active transportation network development, aligning with the Highway Planning and Construction program's broader objectives to support comprehensive transportation infrastructure improvements. The award represents NCDOT's ongoing efforts to develop and maintain diverse transportation infrastructure while advancing sustainability and safety objectives throughout the state.
