The New Hampshire Department of Transportation received a Formula Grant award of $184,929.00 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective July 1, 2025. This award supports the 2024-2025 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) administered by the Central New Hampshire Regional Planning Commission (CNHRPC) on a statewide basis. The UPWP funding enables comprehensive transportation planning activities, including highway system planning, project development, environmental analysis, and coordination among state and local transportation agencies to support efficient allocation of federal transportation resources across New Hampshire's highway infrastructure.

As a formula-based allocation under the Federal-aid Highway Program authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), this award represents ongoing federal support for New Hampshire's transportation planning and project development capabilities. The funding supports activities that establish priorities for highway construction, preservation, and improvement projects while ensuring compliance with planning, environmental, and safety requirements. NHDOT, as the state's designated transportation authority, administers this program in cooperation with regional planning commissions and local officials to guide highway infrastructure investments across the state.
