19 Jan | Rural Autonomous Vehicle (RAV) Program

DOT

The RAV program research focuses on applications of automated vehicles technologies for rural communities that support transportation strategic goals and objectives documented in the U.S. DOT strategic plans and documents. The RAV program research should address, as applicable, the unique challenges rural and Tribal communities face related to mobility and economic development, including isolation, transportation cost burden, and traffic safety. Two awards will be issued:

• The focus of the first award will be on human-centered mobility of people in rural and Tribal communities.
• The focus of the second award will be on movement of freight in rural and Tribal communities, for example, to support and enable automated freight and delivery vehicles serving rural areas

  This award requires a 1:1 match.
