The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (DOT FHWA) awarded a $2.15 million Formula Grant to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on March 29, 2022 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The funding will support installations of lead pedestrian interval traffic signal operations at various locations citywide in California. Caltrans will oversee the work, with $TBD allocated as a subaward to the City of Chula Vista to deliver...

This $360,000 Highway Planning and Construction Formula Grant (CFDA 20.205) awarded by the Federal Highway Administration to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will fund improvements at 47 signalized intersections along multiple roadway segments. The project scope includes upgrading signal hardware, installing pedestrian countdown signal heads, and installing advance stop bars before crosswalks (bicycle boxes) to enhance safety and traffic flow. Caltrans is partnering with...

This federal Project Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (CFDA 20.200 - Highway Research and Development Program) provides $31,457,169 to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to fund the "Southern California Mobility Wallet" project. The project aims to incentivize sustainable and equitable travel by using open-loop payments for transit, road pricing, and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in Southern California. The funding will support the...

This $4.9 million formula grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), will fund traffic signal upgrades at four intersections in various locations in the San Gabriel Valley area of California. The Department of Transportation of California will install upgraded signal standards, mast arms, vehicle heads, protected left-turn phasing, bicycle and vehicle detection, access ramps, communications...

This federal Project Grant award, with an ID of 693JJ22540000Y928CA5308025, was provided by the Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The $5,789,927 grant, awarded on December 26, 2024, is funding the installation of traffic circles at key intersections and along various street corridors in the Barrio neighborhood of Carlsbad, California, from Oak Street south to Magnolia Avenue. The sub-award, with an ID of...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) grant, awarded to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, will identify gaps in translating traffic control theory research into practical traffic controls in real-world settings, and attempt to discover the scientific reasons for these gaps. The $300,000 award, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will investigate how well widely accepted traffic flow models like kinematic wave theory...

The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) has been awarded a $1,993,466 Project Grant by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements (CFDA 20.237) program. The purpose of this 2-year project is to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities involving commercial motor vehicle drivers in and around work zones. UCSD will achieve this by providing automated location-based driver alerts...
