EDC 2 National Baseline Report
Request for comments on new Accelerated Innovation Deployment (AID) Demonstration program-- November 22, 2013 deadline!
An interim Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) and request for comments for a new innovation demonstration grant program is published in the Federal Register (Docket No. FHWA-2013-0048). This notice announces the availability of $15 million in funding authorized within the Technology and Innovation Deployment Program (TIDP) under MAP-21. The notice begins a 21-day comment period on the proposed application process, eligibility requirements, and criteria FHWA will use to select projects for funding.
This demonstration funding could be used for innovations within projects eligible for assistance under title 23, United States Code in all aspects of highway transportation including planning, financing, operation, structures, materials, pavements, environment, and construction. This program may be of interest as a possible resource to implement innovations included in the Every Day Counts (EDC) initiative (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/everydaycounts/).
Please share this notice with your partners (https://federalregister.gov/a/2013-26053), encourage them to pre-register for the planned webinar (https://connectdot.connectsolutions.com/tidp/event/), and remind them to submit comments on this interim NOFA (http://www.regulations.gov).
