The City of Casper received a Formula Grant award of $646,025.00 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), awarded on August 13, 2025. This Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) was administered through the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), the state's primary transportation infrastructure agency.

The award provides financial assistance for planning and preliminary engineering services essential to identifying, evaluating, and advancing future transportation infrastructure projects within Casper's jurisdiction. As a formula grant distributed through WYDOT's established transportation planning processes, these funds enable the city to conduct the requisite planning, environmental review, and design work necessary to develop eligible highway, bridge, multimodal, and related transportation improvement projects. This planning grant represents a foundational investment that supports the City of Casper's capacity to develop competitive applications for construction funding and ensure proposed projects meet FHWA design, environmental, safety, and planning requirements.
