Auburn accepts $3.57 million in state transportation allocations for 2025–26
Summary
The City Council accepted $3,572,547.73 in New York State Department of Transportation transportation funds across multiple state programs to support street, highway and winter recovery projects in Auburn.
The Auburn City Council on May 22 accepted $3,572,547.73 in New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) allocations for fiscal year 2025–26, including funds under CHIPS (Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program) and other state transportation programs.
The council resolution lists multiple program allocations that together comprise the $3,572,547.73 total; the resolution specifically cited a CHIPS allocation of $919,534.04 and an Extreme Winter Recovery allocation of $141,677.66. The resolution authorizes the city controller to appropriate the grant funds to eligible transportation projects and to request reimbursements for completed work per NYSDOT program rules.
Why this matters: State transportation funds reimburse municipalities for eligible projects such as road resurfacing, culvert work and winter recovery. The allocations will support Auburn’s street and highway program priorities for the coming year and must be appropriated and used under state program guidance.
