Applicant Eligibility Desc
Eligible applicants under FY 2026 CHBP are States with: • A population density of less than 115 individuals per square mile; or A population of less than 1.1 million individuals; and • Have less than 26 percent of total bridges classified as in good condition; or Have greater than or equal to 4.9 percent of total bridges classified as in poor condition. Population density is calculated based on the latest available data from the decennial census conducted under 13 U.S.C. § 141(a) as of February 3, 2026, the date on which the Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, 2026, Pub. L. 119-75 became law. Resident population density is used. Percentages of bridge counts are based on the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) as of June 2024. The percentages are based on the number of bridges throughout the State regardless of ownership, e.g., total number of bridges classified as in poor condition compared to the total number of bridges in the NBI that meet the definition of a bridge on a public road. Based on these requirements, eligible applicants are the States of Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. States that are eligible to receive no less than $32.5 million include Iowa, Maine, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and West Virginia. FY 2026 CHBP projects may only be administered by State Departments of Transportation (State DOT).
