The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Arizona Department of Transportation's Intermodal Transportation Division a Formula Grant of $2,345,395.00 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on May 14, 2025. This funding supports intelligent transportation systems (ITS) improvements along McDowell Road from 83rd Avenue to 91st Avenue and along 91st Avenue from McDowell Road to Lower Buckeye Road in Phoenix, Arizona. The Highway Planning and Construction program provides federal financial assistance for highway-related projects including construction, preservation, safety enhancements, and infrastructure improvements on public roads not functionally classified as minor rural collectors or local roads.

As the primary state transportation entity in Arizona, ADOT's Intermodal Transportation Division has leveraged extensive federal grant portfolios to deliver diverse transportation infrastructure projects statewide. ITS implementations such as this award typically involve installation and deployment of traffic management technologies, including dynamic message signs, closed-circuit television systems, and related infrastructure to enhance traffic flow, safety, and operational efficiency. The project advances ADOT's broader mission of planning, developing, and maintaining Arizona's comprehensive transportation network through federal-aid highway program funding mechanisms authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
