Transportation non-roadway - various

The Federal Highway Administration awarded Texas Department of Transportation $271,596.08 on September 22, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) as a formula grant for transportation planning and data collection activities in the Texas metropolitan area.

The funded work encompasses travel survey and data collection programs, air quality and management projects, ridership forecasting among three major transit agencies, inclusion of non-motorized trips in the regional travel model, and development of a dynamic traffic assignment model for roadway network analysis. Work is performed throughout Texas. The period of performance extends through October 26, 2037.

The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal-aid highway funds to states on a formula basis under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for highway planning, construction, preservation, and improvement. State DOTs select projects within funding categories and levels; the FHWA division office in each state approves and executes a project agreement before work commences. Eligible projects generally must be located on public roads not functionally classified as minor rural collectors and local roads, with exceptions for bridges, highway safety activities, bicycle and pedestrian projects, and planning and research activities. Environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act is required for most projects.
