FY 2026 statewide metropolitan planning activities trpa

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $403,842 in formula grant funding to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) on July 1, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award supports FY 2026 statewide metropolitan planning activities for the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), which serves as a critical component of Nevada's transportation infrastructure planning and development efforts. The funding enables NDOT to conduct comprehensive transportation planning, coordination, and analysis necessary to advance multimodal transportation networks, infrastructure improvements, and regional connectivity objectives across the designated metropolitan planning area.

Formula grants under CFDA 20.205 are distributed to state departments of transportation based on statutory allocation formulas and support planning, design, environmental compliance, and coordination activities that precede construction and implementation of transportation projects. Through this award, NDOT will leverage federal resources to strengthen transportation planning capacity, facilitate interagency coordination with regional transportation commissions and local jurisdictions, and support the development of competitive, well-planned transportation improvement initiatives that address safety, infrastructure resilience, and connectivity priorities within the TRPA region.
