WWW lrtp update

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) $106,240 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 1, 2025, to update the WWW Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) Long-Range Transportation Plan through December 30, 2027. This formula grant provides the primary deliverable of a comprehensive long-range transportation plan update establishing a framework for implementing transportation improvements within the WWW planning region through 2050. The funding supplements the majority of project costs provided by the West Virginia Division of Highways, reflecting the interstate planning coordination required for this regional transportation planning initiative.

The planning update represents a critical transportation planning activity eligible under CFDA 20.205, which supports planning and preliminary engineering services as part of the comprehensive Federal-aid Highway Program authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. A sub-award of $106,240 to the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Planning and Development Council on September 4, 2025, indicates the statewide/regional planning component will be executed through this regional planning entity, ensuring coordination among local governments and regional stakeholders in the WWW planning area.
