Alexandria bus shelters

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $125,201.93 to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) on June 26, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support preliminary engineering services for the Alexandria Bus Shelters project. This Formula Grant funds comprehensive planning and design work for installing new bus shelters at warranted citywide locations and replacing existing bus shelters that have reached the end of their operational life cycle. The preliminary engineering phase will establish technical specifications, site assessments, and design documentation necessary to support subsequent construction phases of this multimodal transportation infrastructure improvement initiative.

The project aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's broader mandate to support transportation infrastructure development and improvement across the United States. As a civilian assistance grant administered through VDOT's state transportation planning processes, this funding supports the agency's continued investment in public transit amenities that enhance pedestrian access and safety throughout Alexandria, Virginia. The preliminary engineering deliverables will establish the foundation for future implementation of bus shelter improvements within the city's multimodal transportation network.
