Innovation in Transportation

The Coalition’s Innovation work supports our members as they address new and emerging transportation challenges in technologies, policies, funding needs, and multi-state partnerships. Through webinars, workshops, working groups and pilot programs, we provide a forum for our members to find solutions. The Coalition works with partner states to secure grant funding, enabling them to better understand how evolving transportation funding and infrastructure strategies could work in their states. With guidance from the Coalition’s Executive Board and member agencies, the Innovation Program works to provide support and resources in the following areas as relevant to transportation:

  • Testing new technologies
  • Exploring regional approaches to address tolling reciprocity
  • Supporting work and education toward interoperability of connected vehicle and V2X technologies
  • Continuing the conversation around sustainable, alternative transportation funding mechanisms, including mileage-based user fees

Alternative Fuels & Infrastructure
