The Regional Traffic Signal Optimization (RTOP) project represents a $4.7 million formula grant awarded on June 27, 2025, by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Division of Intermodal. This award funds traffic signal optimization and maintenance initiatives within Georgia's transportation infrastructure network, consistent with the program's broader mandate to support highway-related improvements and intelligent transportation systems implementation across the state.

As a formula grant recipient under the FHWA's Highway Planning and Construction program, GDOT will deliver traffic signal optimization services and systems improvements designed to enhance traffic flow, safety, and operational efficiency on Georgia's roadways. This funding aligns with GDOT's documented expertise in advanced transportation planning and systems integration, building upon the agency's extensive portfolio of federal grant-funded activities including intelligent transportation systems implementation, roadway safety improvements, and technology deployment initiatives. The project will be administered through GDOT's established relationships with Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Regional Commissions across Georgia and subject to applicable federal stewardship, oversight, and environmental compliance requirements under 23 CFR and 2 CFR 200.
