The Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will be accepting Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) applications in order to develop a multi-year program of projects for Federal Fiscal Years (FY) 2017 through FY 2020. All final project approvals will be contingent upon the availability of funds in the year for which they are being requested.
The Call for Projects application period opens August 15, 2016 and runs through November 15, 2016. Please explore our FLAP website located at http://flh.fhwa.dot.gov/programs/flap/ and follow the links to the state webpage to download the application, review the state’s program goals, associated scoring criteria, FAQ’s and tips for preparing a good application. Applications should be submitted via email to EFL.planning@dot.gov by the end of the day (11:59 PM) on November 15, 2016 to be considered. If required, applications via mail, Fedex, UPS etc. or fax will also be accepted.
