FHWA Request for Innovation Ideas
U.S. DOT
Thank you for your continuing leadership, partnership and support of the Every Day Counts (EDC) program, a State-based model that identifies and deploys proven, yet underutilized innovations that make our transportation system adaptable, sustainable, equitable and safer for all. From the final reports of the EDC rounds, it is clear we are making a positive difference.
We are now actively soliciting ideas for proven, market-ready, and transformative innovations to promote in the next round of EDC. We want to collaborate with you to build on the success of Every Day Counts to broaden the focus beyond project delivery to include innovative but underutilized practices or technologies that enhance roadway safety for all users, support sustainable and resilient infrastructure, and/or address equity as part of project planning and delivery. FHWA’s “innovations of interest” were chosen with the idea that every day counts – and when it comes to safety so does every road user, when it comes to sustainability so does every ton of greenhouse gas emitted, and when it comes to equity so does every community. We look forward to your feedback on those innovations of interest but also challenge you, our EDC partners, to send us even more potentially transformative innovations that could make our transportation system more resilient, sustainable, equitable and safe for all.
The door is now open through April 11, 2022 for you to send us proven, market-ready, transformative innovations that could be part of the next round of EDC.
The EDC Call for Ideas website provides instructions for submitting ideas and provides an opportunity to comment on the innovations of interest.
Thank you again for your leadership, your partnership, and your continued commitment,
Helene
