Center for Accelerating Innovation

Description:

The Center for Accelerating Innovation (CAI) serves as the focal point for internal and external coordination to identify and prioritize innovations. The Every Day Counts (EDC) program is a State-based model for deployment of market-ready but underutilized technologies that make our transportation system adaptable, sustainable, equitable, and safer for all. CAI also administers other technology deployment programs. The Accelerated Innovation Deployment (AID) Demonstration discretionary grant program provides eligible entities funding to pilot and accelerate the implementation and adoption of innovation on highway projects. The Accelerating Market Readiness (AMR) program supports technologies emerging into the transportation industry. Additionally, the State Transportation Innovation Council (STIC) facilitates a State-based innovation deployment approach.
