Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $6.668 million to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on July 17, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to design and construct a Class I bikeway facility along the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way through the City of La Habra, California. This project represents a multimodal transportation infrastructure improvement that enhances active transportation connectivity within the designated corridor, consistent with the FHWA's priorities for pedestrian and bicycle facility development supported under the Highway Planning and Construction program.

The award funds the planning, engineering, and construction of protected bicycle infrastructure utilizing existing railroad right-of-way in an urban setting. As a state-administered project under the Federal-aid Highway Program, Caltrans will oversee design, environmental compliance, and construction oversight in coordination with local La Habra officials. The project supports federal transportation objectives for sustainable multimodal networks and represents the type of discretionary project-specific award available through CFDA 20.205 for eligible bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements on public rights-of-way.
