The District of Columbia Department of Public Works (operating as DC Public Works) received a $607,386.90 formula grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to support the State Planning and Research (SPR) program at the District Department of Transportation (DDOT). The award, obligated on September 4, 2025, with a completion date of March 30, 2027, funds annual planning and research activities that support the District's comprehensive transportation infrastructure initiatives and strategic planning efforts.

Under this formula grant, DC Public Works delivers planning and research services essential to the District's transportation infrastructure development and management. The SPR program supports foundational activities including metropolitan transportation planning, traffic safety design analysis, infrastructure assessment, and research initiatives that inform the District's broader transportation improvement projects. These planning and research functions provide the technical foundation for the District's various federally-funded transportation programs, including highway improvements, bridge rehabilitation, pavement restoration, flood mitigation engineering, and multimodal transportation network enhancements.
