The Puerto Rico Highway & Transportation Authority received a $1,378,595 federal Formula Grant from the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Metropolitan Transportation Planning and State and Non-Metropolitan Planning and Research program (CFDA 20.505) on September 15, 2023. The purpose of this grant is to support planning activities to improve public transit systems and enhance accessibility for the residents and visitors of various municipalities in Puerto Rico. Key products and services to be delivered under this grant include comprehensive transportation studies, strategic transit plans, and planning initiatives focused on assessing demographic trends, evaluating infrastructure needs, and developing visions and goals for improved transportation systems. The Authority will issue sub-awards totaling $1,170,000 to municipalities such as Dorado, Adjuntas, Gurabo, Trujillo Alto, Juncos, Manati, Florida, San Juan, Arecibo, and Aguadilla to conduct these transportation planning activities. The studies are expected to result in plans that will significantly improve quality of life and economic development for these communities by enhancing accessibility to commercial areas, services, and government offices, particularly for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
