State, FY26 statewide planning

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Idaho Department of Transportation $2,524,556.40 under the State Planning and Research Program (CFDA 20.258) on September 23, 2025, to support statewide transportation planning activities.

The award funds a range of planning work including development and updates to transportation plans through collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, annual pavement condition surveys, traffic count collection, and development and maintenance of systems and analytical tools to support planning and programming decisions. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2028, with work performed in Idaho. The assistance type is a cooperative agreement.

The State Planning and Research Program derives from Title 23, U.S.C., and requires states to set aside 2 percent of their apportionments from core highway programs for planning and research activities, with no fewer than 25 percent of those set-aside funds devoted to research, development, and technology transfer. The federal cost share is 80 percent unless FHWA determines a different share serves the Federal-aid highway program's interests.
