About the company
Rhode Island DOT, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation, is a division of the State of Rhode Island that acts as a federal grant recipient delivering highway infrastructure planning, design, construction, preservation, bridge rehabilitation, safety improvements, and multimodal transportation projects across Rhode Island under formula and discretionary grants from the Federal Highway Administration, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and related modal agencies.
Rhode Island DOT operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient (100% of awards) under federal transportation programs administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The entity is a U.S. state government agency with no federal contract prime or subcontractor footprint. All 6,050 tracked awards in the source span from October 1999 through August 17, 2026, with recent activity declining from 283 awards in 2022 to 30 in 2026 year-to-date. Combined obligated funding across the portfolio totals $9.94 billion against a stated combined potential value of $35 thousand, reflecting the source's methodology for surfacing formula-grant allocations where individual award ceilings are low-dollar placeholders that bear no relation to actual disbursement.
The customer base is entirely within the Department of Transportation. The Federal Highway Administration accounts for 5,802 awards (96% of the portfolio), with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 180 awards, the Federal Transit Administration at 50 awards, the Immediate Office of the Secretary of Transportation at 12 awards, and the Federal Railroad Administration at 5 awards. This concentration in highway programs reflects Rhode Island DOT's primary mission as the state's highway and bridge infrastructure administrator.
Federal grant work spans concrete highway and safety programs. Representative FHWA awards under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) include a $313.9 million design-build award for Bridge Group 4R at the I-95/Route 10 interchange in Providence and Cranston (June 5, 2025), a $166.067 billion mega-project grant for the design-build replacement of Washington Bridge No. 700 in Providence and East Providence under NIPA (CFDA 20.937, March 27, 2025), a $6.443 billion statewide hardware replacement project (August 7, 2025), and a $6.09 million National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Phase 2A award for EV charging infrastructure installation across the state (August 26, 2025). Pavement improvement, bridge rehabilitation, and safety initiatives dominate the award portfolio—examples include $15.841 billion for I-295 bridges in Warwick (July 22, 2025), $45.157 billion for Bridge Group 51C on Route 37 in Cranston and Warwick (May 7, 2025), and multiple awards for statewide striping, crack sealing, and intersection safety upgrades. NHTSA awards center on highway safety formula grants under the National Priority Safety Programs (CFDA 20.616) and Section 402 State and Community Highway Safety (CFDA 20.600), including occupant protection, distracted driving, nonmotorized safety, impaired driving countermeasures, and traffic records improvements. Representative awards include $2.923 million for Section 402 behavioral highway safety (October 1, 2025) and $2.783 million for repeat intoxicated driver countermeasures under Section 164 transfer authority (October 1, 2025). Work is performed statewide across Rhode Island with administrative oversight at Capitol Hill, Providence.
Awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months total 99 awards, representing recompete exposure across FHWA formula programs and NHTSA safety grants. Activity trajectory shows decline from 283 annual awards in 2022 to 197 in 2025, suggesting either tightening in award counting methodology or consolidation in grant administration. The source carries no indicators of corporate subsidiaries, teaming, or secondary business lines; Rhode Island DOT operates as a single-entity state transportation agency delivering federal highway and safety programming.
