ADA compliance project; SFY 27/28 (PH. 1-4)

The New York State Department of Transportation received $285,000 in federal funding awarded on June 5, 2025, through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This formula grant supports the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Compliance Project for State Fiscal Years 27/28, Phase 1-4, across multiple locations in western New York counties including Attaaugus, Chautauqua, Erie, and Niagara.

The grant funds accessibility improvements and ADA compliance work at various transportation infrastructure locations throughout the specified counties. As part of the FHWA's comprehensive Highway Planning and Construction program, which supports highway preservation and safety enhancements including accessibility and multimodal transportation improvements, these funds enable NYS DOT to address critical compliance requirements and accessibility barriers within the state transportation network. The phased approach across multiple phases and locations indicates a systematic effort to bring transportation infrastructure into full compliance with federal accessibility standards.
