The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization has received a $507,320 grant from the Federal Highway Administration.
The funds, awarded through the Prioritization Process Pilot Program, will improve transportation planning and construction in Durham City and County, Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, adjacent portions of Orange County and north-central Chatham County.
The agency says it will use the grant to revamp how it prioritizes projects, with a focus on consistency, data and stakeholder input.
The grant will also make it easier to plan and deliver locally administered federally funded projects, according to the agency. This effort will include building a new online space on the agency’s website to share project updates, milestones and costs.
