FEDERAL GRANT AWARD SUMMARY

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Division of Intermodal a formula grant totaling $281,136.92 under the Highway Planning and Construction Program (CFDA 20.205) on July 14, 2025. The funding supports off-system safety improvements at one location in Randolph County, Georgia, specifically addressing high-risk rural road (HRRR) safety enhancements and congestion and safety treatment (CST) initiatives.

This award aligns with the federal-aid highway program's established priorities for transportation safety improvements on non-federal-aid highway systems. Under CFDA 20.205, safety activities and improvements on off-system roads qualify as eligible project categories, and formula grant allocations to state departments of transportation are a standard funding mechanism under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorization. GDOT, as Georgia's primary transportation agency, administers the project in accordance with federal stewardship and oversight requirements, environmental compliance standards, and applicable transportation regulations.
