Deployment of advanced mobility service in rural louisiana using emission and affordability credits engine technologies

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Executive Office of the State of Louisiana $9,773,009 on March 5, 2026, under the Highway Research and Development Program (CFDA 20.200) to deploy an advanced mobility service in northeast rural Louisiana through February 22, 2030.

The project delivers on-demand transportation solutions and shared mobility infrastructure for disadvantaged rural communities, with emphasis on medical access. The service integrates shared mobility solutions, transportation carbon credits, and an equity credit engine to create a self-sustaining public transportation system tailored to rural needs. The Executive Office of the State of Louisiana, operating through its Louisiana Commission on Human Rights division, performs all work directly within Louisiana with no subrecipient pass-through.
