Statewide - CO-0

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky $150,000 on March 5, 2026, under the Pollinator-Friendly Practices on Roadsides and Highway Rights-of-Way Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 20.283) to implement pollinator conservation activities statewide.

The award funds implementation and improvement of pollinator-friendly practices on Kentucky roadsides and highway rights-of-way, including planting and seeding of native, locally appropriate grasses and wildflowers, including milkweed. Performance extends through March 31, 2029, with work performed throughout Kentucky.

The Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Kentucky serves as the primary grant recipient and administers federal transportation funding on behalf of the Commonwealth, operating as a pass-through conduit to counties, municipalities, and local public agencies for transportation infrastructure delivery statewide.
