Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ317NF0001
The Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) Initiative is a competitive U.S. Department of Transportation grant program intended to fund real-world, large-scale deployments of advanced transportation technologies. The main idea is to create "model deployment sites" where modern, data-driven tools can be installed and operated at meaningful scale, producing measurable improvements and practical lessons that other regions can replicate. By focusing on operational deployments rather than small pilots, DOT aims to generate credible, on-the-ground performance evidence and implementation feedback that can guide both congressional oversight and future DOT policy and funding decisions.
Projects funded under this opportunity are expected to use innovative transportation solutions that improve safety, mobility, and overall system performance while increasing the return on investment in transportation infrastructure. DOT specifically highlights outcomes such as reducing traffic-related fatalities and injuries, decreasing congestion, and improving travel time reliability. In addition, the program emphasizes environmental and multimodal benefits, including lowering transportation-related emissions, optimizing performance across multiple modes (such as roadways, transit, and other shared mobility options), and expanding access to transportation alternatives, including benefits for underserved communities. Another key objective is improving public access to real-time, integrated information across traffic, transit, and multimodal networks so travelers can make better-informed decisions. DOT also calls out potential cost savings for transportation agencies, businesses, and the traveling public as an important category of benefit.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, with the Federal Highway Administration listed in the source information. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies a more active federal role during project execution than a standard grant, often including coordination, oversight, or technical involvement by the agency. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding within the transportation activity area, and it is associated with CFDA number 20.200. Eligibility is not limited to a single applicant type in the summary data and is described as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation text (meaning prospective applicants would need to consult the official notice for the precise list of eligible entities and any partnership requirements).
In terms of award scale and competitiveness, DOT anticipated making around 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $12,000,000 per award. Applications were required to be submitted through Grants.gov by June 12, 2017 at 3:00 pm Eastern Time. The funding opportunity number for reference is 693JJ317NF0001, and the posting was created on April 12, 2017.
To support applicants, DOT scheduled a voluntary informational webinar designed to walk through the funding opportunity and allow potential applicants to ask targeted questions. Participation was encouraged but not required to apply. The session was held on April 25, 2017 at 1:00 pm Eastern Time, with registration provided via the DOT-hosted webinar link included in the announcement.Apply for 693JJ317NF0001
