New Road Aid Program: HB 546 Guide

 

May 27, 2025

10:00 a.m. EDT

Join Commissioner Bobbi Jo Lewis of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Department of Rural and Municipal Aid for an informative webinar on House Bill 546, passed during the 2025 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly. This legislation establishes the Local Assistance Road Program (LARP) and sets key dates and requirements for cities applying for local road project funding.

Beginning June 1, 2025, applications open for the new LARP program. HB 546 sunsets the previous County Priority Projects Program (CPPP), which the 2024 General Assembly created and only applied to FY 2025 and FY 2026. LARP provides a new avenue for local governments to seek road project funding in addition to other available programs administered by the cabinet.

During the webinar, Commissioner Lewis will cover:

  • An overview of HB 546 and the creation of the LARP program
  • How LARP differs from the former CPPP program
  • Key funding limits, eligibility criteria, and scoring considerations under LARP
  • Updated application requirements, including how to identify mile point markers — now a required submission detail

This is a valuable opportunity for city officials to ensure they are prepared to navigate the revised procedures and take full advantage of available funding.
