PUBLIC LANDS HIGHWAY (PLH) DISCRETIONARY

PLH funds are available for any kind of transportation project eligible for assistance under Title 23, United States Code that is within, adjacent to, or provides access to the areas served by a public lands highway. These highways may be state highways, local roads, or federal agency roads. All applications for project funding must be submitted through the Idaho Congressional delegation. It is also strongly suggested you send the application to ITD Division of Planning, P.O. Box 7129, Boise, Idaho 83707. There is no required state or local match on PLH discretionary projects.

Our Congressional delegation generally solicits these projects. Contact your Congressional delegation for details. Project awards are announced by FHWA sometime after the beginning of the federal fiscal year. Information on the eligibility requirements for this national program is available at the following web site: www.fhwa.dot.gov/discretionary/index.htm.

For additional information on the Public Lands Discretionary Program, contact Nathan Hesterman, ITD Office of Transportation Investments Manager, by calling (208) 334-8264 or emailing at nathan.hesterman@itd.idaho.gov.
