Regional safety analysis & programming (CLMPO)

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) received a Formula Grant award of $255,000.56 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 2, 2025. The award supports the Regional Safety Analysis & Programming project administered through the Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization (CLMPO). The project delivers comprehensive transportation safety services including coalition coordination through the Safe Lane Coalition, safety data analysis and programming, educational marketing and outreach initiatives, and the installation of temporary safety infrastructure improvements. These efforts are designed to enhance overall transportation safety outcomes within the designated region of performance in Oregon.

The Highway Planning and Construction program, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides federal funding to states for highway-related infrastructure projects, with eligible activities including safety enhancements and multimodal transportation improvements. ODOT's receipt of this formula grant reflects the state's ongoing partnership with the FHWA in addressing critical transportation safety needs through data-driven programming and community-based outreach activities that support the broader federal objective of improving highway safety and reducing transportation-related incidents.
