The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $1,531,247.74 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective June 26, 2025. This funding supports FY-2026 highway planning, economic surveys, research activities, and area-wide transportation planning conducted by the MAPA Metropolitan Planning Organization. The award enables NDOT to advance comprehensive transportation infrastructure planning and analysis capabilities across the state through collaborative regional planning initiatives.

Under this Formula Grant, the funded activities focus on planning and research functions essential to transportation system development in Nebraska. These services include highway planning studies, economic transportation surveys, research initiatives, and metropolitan area-wide transportation planning conducted in coordination with the MAPA Metropolitan Planning Organization. As a formula-based allocation under the Federal-aid Highway Program established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), this funding reflects NDOT's ongoing role as a primary recipient of federal transportation grants and supports the agency's capacity to plan, coordinate, and develop transportation infrastructure projects throughout the state.
