PL augusta - FY 2026 upwp

The Georgia Department of Transportation Division of Intermodal received a Formula Grant award of $166,217.21 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective July 1, 2025. This award supports the PL Augusta Fiscal Year 2026 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), which funds metropolitan and regional transportation planning activities. The UPWP represents a core planning mechanism under the Federal-aid Highway Program, enabling state and local agencies to conduct comprehensive, continuing, and coordinated transportation planning necessary to guide infrastructure investment decisions across multimodal transportation networks.

The funding supports Georgia's transportation planning capabilities in the Augusta area, including activities such as data analysis, geographic information systems services, corridor and commuteshed analyses, and coordination with regional planning partners. As part of the broader federal-aid highway funding framework authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, this formula-allocated award reflects GDOT's established role as the state's primary transportation agency responsible for planning, development, and improvement of the state's multimodal transportation infrastructure in collaboration with federal agencies and regional entities.
