Roadway safety education program

The West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) received a $500,000 Formula Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), awarded on July 2, 2025. The grant supports the development of a statewide Roadway Safety Education Program, with deliverables including the creation of video content and other learning materials designed to enhance highway safety education across West Virginia. This initiative aligns with the program's broader focus on transportation safety improvements and represents a targeted investment in safety awareness and educational infrastructure within the state's transportation system.

The award demonstrates FHWA's commitment to supporting state-level safety initiatives as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization. As a Formula Grant mechanism, the funding reflects West Virginia's apportionment under the Highway Planning and Construction program and will be administered by WVDOH in coordination with its parent organization, the West Virginia Division of Labor. The educational materials developed through this grant are intended to support highway safety objectives across the state's transportation network and contribute to reducing roadway incidents through improved public awareness and driver education initiatives.
