2 Feb | FY23-24 Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Program

DOT

The FHWA hereby requests applications to result in awards to eligible entities to deploy, install, and operate advanced transportation technologies to improve safety, mobility, efficiency, system performance, intermodal connectivity, and infrastructure return on investment. These model deployments are expected to provide benefits in the form of: 

• reduced traffic-related fatalities and injuries; 
• reduced traffic congestion and improved travel time reliability; 
• reduced transportation-related emissions; 
• optimized multimodal system performance; 
• improved access to transportation alternatives, including for underserved populations; 
• improved integration of payment systems; 
• public access to real-time integrated traffic, transit, and multimodal transportation information to make informed travel decisions; 
• cost savings to transportation agencies, businesses, and the traveling public; or 
• other benefits to transportation users and the general public. (23 U.S.C. § 503(c)(4))

This program requires 20% cost-sharing. Universities can apply as part of a multi-jurisdictional group or consortia that includes political subdivisions of a state (state gov’t, local gov’t, metropolitan planning agencies, and transit agencies).
