Mapc- leveraging innovative networks to keep urban pathways uncongested (LINKUP) in greater boston

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) received a $21.12 million Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), awarded on September 23, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2030. The project, titled "MAPC- Leveraging Innovative Networks to Keep Urban Pathways Uncongested (LINKUP) in Greater Boston," supports transportation infrastructure improvements and congestion mitigation initiatives in the greater Boston metropolitan area. The five-year project duration aligns with typical Highway Planning and Construction awards, which fund highway construction, preservation, improvement, and related multimodal transportation network development activities.

Under this award, MassDOT will deliver infrastructure enhancements and transportation planning services designed to address urban pathway congestion in the greater Boston region. The funding supports activities consistent with the Highway Planning and Construction program's eligible scope, which includes highway and bridge improvements, multimodal connectivity enhancements, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, planning and preliminary engineering services, and environmental compliance activities. MassDOT, as the state's primary transportation authority, will coordinate execution of the project in partnership with regional stakeholders and the Boston Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), leveraging innovative network approaches to improve traffic flow and transportation efficiency across the Commonwealth's most densely populated region.
