Date Posted:	7/21/2009
Description:	The FHWA Highways for LIFE (HfL) program has extended its solicitation of grant applications for fiscal year (FY) 2009 demonstration construction projects. Up to seven additional projects can be funded in FY09. Applications will be evaluated on a first come, first served basis, with priority given to States that have not yet received HfL funds. So far in FY09, Colorado, Florida, Maine, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, D.C., and Wisconsin have been chosen for 2009 grants of up to $1 million each. A budget of $7,000,000 has been set aside to fund up to 7 additional projects. The HfL program is designed to encourage State transportation agencies to build projects using proven innovations that have been infrequently or never used by the agency.
