FY25 stic incentive grant section 106 prog. Agmt

The Idaho Department of Transportation received a $156,250 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Research and Development Program (CFDA 20.200), awarded on September 23, 2025, with completion targeted for June 30, 2027. This FY25 STIC Incentive Grant will fund the development of a programmatic agreement through consultant facilitation in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and recommendations from the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The programmatic agreement will establish procedures for addressing historic preservation compliance within Idaho's transportation infrastructure projects.

The primary deliverable under this award is a comprehensive programmatic agreement document that streamlines Section 106 review processes for FHWA-funded transportation activities in Idaho. By establishing this agreement upfront, the grant reduces project delays and administrative burden on future transportation initiatives while ensuring compliance with federal historic preservation requirements. This proactive approach aligns with FHWA's broader mandate under the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act to improve transportation planning and environmental decision-making across the nation's infrastructure systems.
