The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $306,000 to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) on June 17, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This formula grant supports the development of bike and pedestrian facilities as part of the Rushville Riverside Connector Shared-Use Path project (R-45517) in Rush County, Indiana, specifically within the Greenfield District. The project will enhance multimodal transportation infrastructure by constructing a dedicated shared-use path that improves connectivity and active transportation options for local communities.

As a transportation infrastructure project funded through the Highway Planning and Construction program, this award advances FHWA's strategic objectives of improving transportation safety, enhancing mobility, and supporting alternative transportation modes. The shared-use path represents an eligible activity under the federal program, which specifically authorizes funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects that serve public transportation needs. INDOT, as the state's transportation department, administers the project in accordance with federal requirements and will oversee design, environmental compliance, and construction oversight to deliver this active transportation facility.
