PED enhancements at east rochester high school 1-6

The New York State Department of Transportation received a $379,441 formula grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 26, 2025. This award funds pedestrian safety enhancements at the East Rochester K-8 and High School campus in Monroe County, New York. The project scope includes construction and replacement of sidewalks, installation of crosswalks, and construction of curb ramps throughout the school campus area to promote active transportation and enhance pedestrian safety for students and community members.

The Highway Planning and Construction program, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), supports transportation infrastructure development and safety improvements across the United States. As a formula grant administered through state departments of transportation, this award reflects New York's allocation of federal highway funds for eligible pedestrian and bicycle facility improvements, which constitute allowable activities under the program regardless of functional road classification. The project delivery will be overseen by NYS DOT in coordination with local officials in East Rochester to ensure compliance with applicable environmental review, design, and construction standards.
