The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Division of Intermodal $154,241.16 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) through a Formula Grant on May 27, 2025. This award funds the Transportation Workforce Training Pilot Program, a specialized component of Georgia's broader transportation infrastructure initiatives. The program is designed to address critical workforce development needs within the transportation sector by establishing and implementing pilot training initiatives that prepare workers for roles in Georgia's multimodal transportation network.

As a formula grant recipient under the Federal-aid Highway Program authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), GDOT leverages this funding to develop educational and training capacity in transportation. The Transportation Workforce Training Pilot Program aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's scope, which encompasses infrastructure development, preservation, and safety enhancement across the state. GDOT's Division of Intermodal, headquartered in Atlanta and registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2005, administers this award as part of its ongoing responsibility to manage federal transportation funds and oversee Georgia's comprehensive multimodal transportation infrastructure network in collaboration with federal transportation agencies.
