Univ. Of the ozarks campus crosswalk impvts. (TAP-23) (S)

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $295,000 to the Arkansas Department of Transportation under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 27, 2025, to improve crosswalk safety improvements around the perimeter of the University of the Ozarks campus. This project, designated TAP-23, represents a pedestrian infrastructure improvement initiative that falls within eligible activities under the Highway Planning and Construction program, which prioritizes safety enhancements and multimodal transportation network development. The project is scheduled for completion by March 31, 2028, and will be executed in Arkansas.

As a formula grant administered through the state department of transportation, this award demonstrates FHWA's support for campus-based pedestrian safety initiatives that enhance mobility and reduce transportation hazards in academic settings. The crosswalk improvements constitute a transportation alternative activity eligible under the federal-aid highway program framework, whereby state transportation departments implement projects selected through established planning processes and approved by the FHWA division office prior to construction commencement.
