10 locations in the city of phoenix

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $7.47 million to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) on May 2, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This Formula Grant funds the installation of High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) signals at 10 locations throughout Phoenix, Arizona. HAWK signals are pedestrian safety devices that improve traffic management and enhance pedestrian crossing safety at designated intersections by providing high-visibility, motion-activated signaling.

This award supports ADOT's ongoing commitment to transportation safety improvements and pedestrian infrastructure enhancements across Arizona's transportation network. The project aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's emphasis on safety enhancements and multimodal transportation improvements on public roadways. As a state department of transportation administering federal-aid highway funds allocated through statutory formula mechanisms under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), ADOT is responsible for project oversight, design, construction, and compliance with applicable environmental and federal requirements throughout the project implementation period.
