Intelligent transportation systems operational preservation

The Puerto Rico Transport And Other Public Services Bureau received a $840,300 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on September 14, 2021. The funding supports the Intelligent Transportation Systems Operational Preservation project under the Highway Planning and Construction federal grant program (CFDA 20.205).

The project aims to provide for the construction, preservation, and improvement of highways through operational preservation of existing intelligent transportation systems. Specifically, the grant will support maintenance and upkeep of infrastructure and technologies that enhance transportation system management and operations in Puerto Rico, such as traffic control centers and variable message signs. This aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's goal of assisting states and territories with highway programs through the Federal-aid Highway Program.
