Advanced Transportation Technologies and Innovative Mobility Deployment (ATTIMD) Program

The Advanced Transportation Technologies and Innovative Mobility Deployment Program (ATTIMD), established in Section 503(c)(4) of title 23, United States Code (U.S.C.), also known as the Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Program, directs FHWA to award grants 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. FHWA intends for these model technology deployments to help demonstrate how emerging transportation technologies, data, and their applications can be effectively deployed and integrated with existing systems to provide access to essential services and other destinations. This also includes efforts to increase connectivity to employment, education, services, and other opportunities; support workforce development; or contribute to increased mobility, particularly for persons with visible and hidden disabilities and elderly individuals. The Assistance Listing Number for this opportunity is 20.200 – Highway Research and Development. The Federal Highway Administration (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. This competitive ATTAIN Program will promote the use of innovative transportation solutions. The deployment of these technologies will provide Congress and FHWA with valuable real-life data and feedback to inform future decision-making. Cost Sharing: Cost-sharing or matching is required, with the maximum Federal share being 80 percent; hence, this NOFO requires a minimum non-Federal cost share of 20 percent. Cost sharing or matching means the portion of project costs not paid by Federal funds. NOTE: FHWA previously issued six NOFOs for the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) Grant Program before the program was amended and renamed to the Advanced Transportation Technologies and Innovative Mobility Deployment Program by Section 13006 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (Public Law 117-58, also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” (BIL)).
