Transportation department accepting applications through August 25 for freight-related project funds
BOISE – The Idaho Transportation Department is accepting applications through August 25 for funding to improve freight-related infrastructure in Idaho.
The department will distribute $10 million in federal funding for freight-related projects. The projects are required to take place between the years 2021-2024.
Applications will be judged based on adding road capacity to address highway freight bottlenecks, the physical separation of passenger vehicles from commercial motor freight, and electronic cargo or border-security technologies that improve truck freight movement. Additional criteria is traffic-signal optimization, (including synchronized and adaptive signals), climbing and runaway-truck lanes, among other criteria.
See a complete list of criteria, learn about the application process and schedule.
Those with questions about the application process can contact Jeff Marker at jeffrey.marker@itd.idaho.gov or at (208) 334-8462.
