Opportunity Information: Apply for 693JJ321NF00005
The Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) Initiative is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) designed to help communities and transportation agencies deploy advanced transportation technologies at real-world, large-scale model sites. The core purpose is to support the installation and operation of technology-driven solutions that measurably improve transportation safety, mobility and congestion management, overall system performance, and the return on infrastructure investments. In practice, this program is aimed at moving projects beyond small pilots by funding more substantial deployments that can be demonstrated, evaluated, and potentially replicated elsewhere.
For the 2021 solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number 693JJ321NF00005, CFDA 20.200), FHWA made up to $60 million available in total Federal funding, with an award ceiling of $12 million per award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Federal agency expects to remain actively involved during the project period (for example, through collaboration on project plans, reporting, performance measurement, and implementation oversight), rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The application closing date listed for this round was August 23, 2021.
Eligibility is limited to specific public-sector and certain consortium-based applicants. Eligible applicants include State and local governments, transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) serving populations over 200,000, and other political subdivisions of a State or local government such as publicly owned toll authorities or port authorities. The program also allows applications from multijurisdictional groups and consortia of research institutions or academic institutions. A key restriction is that an application submitted by a single research or academic institution acting alone (not as part of a consortium) will not be considered for selection. The notice emphasizes what FHWA means by a consortium: a meaningful, long-term arrangement where members help set the direction of the group, participate in most aspects of the work, and remain engaged for the full life of the grant.
While the summary text does not list specific technology categories, the program title and stated goals indicate it is meant for advanced transportation and congestion management deployments, which commonly include integrated corridor management, smart traffic signal systems, connected vehicle or vehicle-to-infrastructure capabilities, advanced transit and fleet management tools, real-time traveler information, data platforms and analytics, multimodal management technologies, and other Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) approaches. The key through-line is implementation at a scale large enough to function as a model deployment site, with clear outcomes tied to safety, efficiency, congestion reduction, and performance improvements.
The 2021 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) was updated through three amendments, all of which were administrative in nature and focused on applicant support materials rather than changing core program requirements. Amendment 1 (June 29, 2021) added the date and registration link for an informational webinar scheduled for July 13, 2021 at 1:00 PM Eastern. Amendment 2 (July 16, 2021) added the PowerPoint slide deck used during that webinar under the "Related Documents" section. Amendment 3 (July 23, 2021) added a link to the webinar recording, also posted on the attachments page, making it easier for applicants to review guidance after the live event.
Overall, ATCMTD is best understood as a competitive deployment program for public agencies (and qualified multi-entity consortia) that are ready to implement advanced, operational transportation technologies in the field, demonstrate measurable improvements, and produce lessons learned that can inform broader adoption.Apply for 693JJ321NF00005
