Integrated mobility division (IMD) bicycle and pedestrian coordination activities. Statewide

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) a Formula Grant of $632,140 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on June 26, 2025. This three-year award funds two staff positions within NCDOT's Integrated Mobility Division (IMD) to manage bicycle and pedestrian programs and projects statewide. The positions—an Engineer III and a Program Analyst II—will conduct engineering, program management, data analysis, and planning activities that support non-recreational bicycle transportation and pedestrian improvements across North Carolina.

These funded activities are designed to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality through the development and coordination of active transportation infrastructure and programs. The work encompasses statewide planning and project management efforts that support NCDOT's comprehensive approach to multimodal transportation network improvements, leveraging federal highway program funding to advance sustainable transportation alternatives at the state level.
