NMDOT News:
SANTA FE — The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) awarded nearly $47 million to 27 projects through four federal funding programs, benefiting 15 agencies statewide, during the federal fiscal year 2026 call for projects.
Awarded projects range from supporting transit operation and infrastructure upgrades, to design and construction of urban and rural multiuse paths and trails, to supporting Safe Routes to School programs. A full list of projects is listed below.
“These programs are critical for Tribal and local public agencies, funding projects from planning through construction and beyond state roadways. They make multimodal safety and quality-of-life improvements possible, particularly in smaller and rural communities where these projects might otherwise never move forward,” said Active Transportation Program Coordinator Robin Graham.
The NMDOT Planning Division Call for Projects was for Federal Fiscal Years 2026-2028 and included four federal funding programs:
- Carbon Reduction Program (CRP)
- Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality Program (CMAQ)
- Recreational Trails Program (RTP)
- Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)
Please visit the Research and Climate Bureau website for more information about CRP and CMAQ and Multimodal Planning and Programs Bureau website for more information about RTP and TAP.
