Strategic plan development support

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the West Virginia Division of Highways $249,988 on March 31, 2026, under the State Planning and Research Program (CFDA 20.258) to support statewide development of an updated strategic plan, relevant policies, and other background materials.

The award funds planning and research activities across West Virginia through February 28, 2030. The State Planning and Research Program requires states to set aside 2 percent of apportionments from core highway programs for planning and research, with at least 25 percent of those funds directed to research, development, and technology transfer activities. Eligible activities include engineering and economic surveys, highway and transportation system planning, management systems development, and research on transportation infrastructure engineering standards and construction materials. The federal cost share is 80 percent unless the Federal Highway Administration Associate Administrator for Research, Development & Technology determines otherwise.

The West Virginia Division of Highways, a division within the West Virginia Department of Transportation, serves as the recipient. The Division of Labor acts as the parent organization in an administrative capacity.
