Statewide & urban/MPO transportation planning - FY 2026 tpwp

The Georgia Department of Transportation Division of Intermodal received a formula grant award of $281,618.49 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), awarded on June 26, 2025. This funding supports statewide and urban/Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) transportation planning activities for Fiscal Year 2026 through the Transportation Planning Work Program (TPWP). The award enables Georgia's primary transportation agency to conduct comprehensive transportation planning and coordination across the state's multimodal transportation infrastructure network, including highway systems, bridges, transit systems, and aviation facilities.

Under this program, the Division of Intermodal utilizes federal formula grant funding to support planning initiatives that align with state and local transportation priorities established through existing Unified Planning Work Programs and coordination with various MPOs and Regional Commissions across Georgia. These planning activities are foundational to the broader federal-aid highway program, which authorizes states to develop, prioritize, and advance transportation infrastructure projects. The funding supports Georgia's transportation planning capacity and interagency coordination necessary to effectively administer federal transportation programs in collaboration with the FHWA and other federal transportation agencies.
