Federal Highway Administration Makes Available $60 Million for
Advanced Transportation Technologies Grants

WASHINGTON – Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) today published a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for states, cities and other agencies to compete for $60 million in Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Program (ATCMTD) grants to fund new technologies that improve transportation efficiency and safety.

“These grants promote the use of cutting-edge technology to improve safety and reduce traffic congestion,” said Acting Federal Highway Administrator Brandye L. Hendrickson. “Innovation will improve connections between rural communities and provide all Americans with safer transportation options.”

Created in the “Fixing America’s Surface Transportation” Act, the ATCMTD program works to improve the performance of U.S. transportation systems, reduce traffic congestion and improve the safety of the traveling public.

Now in its third round of grants, FHWA is interested in projects that bring data together from different systems, such as integrated corridor management, real-time traveler information, traffic data collection and dissemination, and other intelligent transportation system technologies.

State departments of transportation, local governments, transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations and other eligible entities are invited to apply under the program. The program has provided $110 million to 18 projects in 13 states in 2016 and 2017, including the Virginia Port Authority’s truck reservation system, as well as enhancements to existing projects with proven successes, such as the Florida Department of Transportation’s Sunstore integrated data system for travelers, Pittsburgh’s SmartPGH to connect communities to transportation, and California’s GoPort freight project in Alameda County.

Southeast Florida Clean Cities Coalition was invited to speak about the “Greening Our Rides” component of the Green Parks Plan at a recent Climate Friendly Parks Workshop in Ochopee, Florida. The presentation featured methods for greening a fleet and opened the floor for discussion specifically tailored to Big Cypress National Preserve. The park already boasts a photovoltaic array to power its Welcome Center, but rangers agree that they need to take alternative fuel discussions a step further and apply appropriate alternatives to their fleet. A lively brainstorming session yielded the following starting points for reducing transportation-related GHG emissions:

• More employee commuting options (such as telework and carpooling)
• Public transportation options to access Big Cypress
• Replacement of conventional mowers with propane or electric-powered, as well as minimizing mowing areas
• Electric car charging stations for visitors and potential future fleet use
• Transition of all-terrain vehicles to utility task vehicles
• Development of an idle-reduction campaign within the park

These ideas will be further explored as the partnership between Big Cypress National Preserve and Southeast Florida Clean Cities Coalition continues to develop. Southeast Florida Clean Cities and Big Cypress look forward to becoming leaders in climate change response for Florida parks and preserves.
