The Huron Police Department received a $426,417 formula grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 12, 2025. The grant funds the purchase of four all-electric vehicles for use by the Huron Police Department to conduct patrol operations and respond to emergency and service calls within city limits. The project is scheduled for completion by May 31, 2026.

The Highway Planning and Construction program, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, supports a broad range of transportation infrastructure improvements including highway construction, safety enhancements, and multimodal transportation initiatives. This particular award reflects federal investment priorities in sustainable transportation infrastructure by enabling local law enforcement agencies to transition to electric vehicle technology for operational use. The grant was administered through the State of California's Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which serves as the pass-through entity responsible for oversight and administration of federal highway funding allocations to eligible projects within the state.
