This $1,806,218 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Immediate Office of the Secretary will support the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) implementation of a Proof of Concept (POC) for a "Smart Corridor" to enhance the movement of truck-borne goods across the Blue Water Bridge and Port Huron Port of Entry in Michigan. The goal is to apply data-centered technology to enable the unimpeded flow of information among shipping companies, vehicles, border agencies, and infrastructure operators along this key international freight corridor. This is expected to provide predictable arrival and processing times, thereby improving the westbound movement of goods. The project will obtain travel time preferences from shippers/suppliers (especially related to the automotive industry) and provide this information to toll, customs, and highway agencies to predict and manage demand. There are no sub-award activities associated with this grant, which has an expected completion date of March 15, 2025.
