Environet enhancements 2026

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) a $640,000 formula grant on August 6, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund FY 2026 ENVIRONET enhancements and related technology infrastructure improvements. The award provides funding to hire multiple consultant programmers who will implement system enhancements, develop geographic information systems (GIS) data capabilities, and expand connectivity features within ENVIRONET, Ohio's transportation planning and management platform.

This funding enables ODOT to advance its technological infrastructure supporting transportation planning, data management, and decision-making processes across the state's 88 counties. As a prime awardee under the Highway Planning and Construction program, ODOT utilizes formula grant allocations to strengthen its administrative and technology capabilities, which facilitate the distribution and oversight of federal highway funding to local governments and regional partners throughout Ohio's transportation network.
