The State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $104,394.00 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on June 16, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award supports FDOT's Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) for fiscal years 2024/2025 and 2025/2026, funding transportation planning activities in St. Lucie County, Florida. The UPWP provides the foundational planning framework that guides comprehensive transportation infrastructure development and improvement initiatives throughout the region.

Under the Highway Planning and Construction program, FDOT utilizes formula-allocated federal funds to advance transportation planning capabilities, which establishes the basis for subsequent highway construction, preservation, and multimodal transportation projects. As the state's primary transportation agency, FDOT administers these planning funds and frequently sub-awards portions to county and municipal governments to support localized planning efforts. This award demonstrates FDOT's continued engagement in systematic transportation planning activities required to maintain federal compliance and inform infrastructure priorities across Florida's transportation network.
