Nymtc: executive training for transportation professionals

The New York State Department of Transportation received a $200,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective June 12, 2025. The award funds executive training workshops for transportation professionals through the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC), based in New York. This initiative supports professional development and workforce capacity building within the state's transportation sector, enabling transportation professionals to enhance their technical and managerial expertise in infrastructure planning, project management, and related transportation disciplines.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance for comprehensive transportation infrastructure development and improvement activities. By directing a portion of these funds toward executive training, this award recognizes the critical role that skilled transportation professionals play in planning and executing complex infrastructure projects, policy initiatives, and multimodal transportation improvements across New York State. The training workshops delivered through this award contribute to the broader capacity-building objectives of the federal highway program while strengthening leadership capabilities within New York's transportation workforce.
