It’s Time to Identify Innovations for Next Round of Every Day Counts

A Federal Highway Administration request for information in today’s Federal Register asks transportation stakeholders to suggest proven, market-ready innovations to deploy in the fourth round of Every Day Counts.

“We’re looking for more technologies, materials and processes to ensure we continue to deliver transportation to the American people better, faster and smarter,” said FHWA Administrator Gregory Nadeau.

In addition to conducting market research for EDC-4, FHWA is collecting feedback on 15 high-value “innovations of interest.”

Since 2009, FHWA has partnered with public agencies and the private sector to deploy EDC innovations. “Our hope is that by adding new innovations and processes to the EDC roster, we can continue transforming the way the highway community does business,” Nadeau said.

The EDC-4 request for information closes on January 31, 2016. FHWA will collaborate with stakeholders to implement the EDC-4 innovations in 2017 and 2018.
