The Advanced Transportation Technologies and Innovative Mobility Deployment (ATTIMD) Program, also referred to as the Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Program, is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) competitive grant program created under 23 U.S.C. 503(c)(4). Its purpose is to fund real-world, model deployments of advanced transportation technologies that can be installed, operated, and integrated with existing transportation systems to improve how people and goods move. The program is designed not just to purchase technology, but to prove out practical deployments that generate usable lessons, performance results, and implementation feedback for FHWA and Congress. The Assistance Listing (CFDA) connected to this opportunity is 20.200, Highway Research and Development.
At its core, ATTIMD supports projects that use emerging transportation technologies and data-driven applications to deliver measurable improvements in safety, mobility, efficiency, overall system performance, intermodal connectivity, and the return on investment for infrastructure spending. FHWA emphasizes deployments that demonstrate how technology can be effectively woven into current roadway, transit, and multimodal networks, rather than operating as isolated pilots. A key theme is improving access to essential services and everyday destinations, including better connections to employment, education, healthcare, and other opportunities. The program also highlights workforce development and mobility improvements for people who often face the biggest barriers to transportation, particularly older adults and individuals with visible or hidden disabilities, as well as underserved communities more broadly.
FHWA expects funded deployments to translate into concrete public benefits. Examples of outcomes the agency calls out include reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries, cutting congestion and improving travel time reliability, and lowering transportation-related emissions. Projects are also expected to strengthen multimodal performance, meaning better coordination across modes such as driving, transit, walking, bicycling, and shared mobility. Other anticipated benefits include improved access to transportation alternatives (especially for underserved populations), better integration of payment systems across services, and expanded public access to real-time, integrated information on traffic, transit, and multimodal options so travelers can make better decisions. The agency also points to potential cost savings for transportation agencies, businesses, and the traveling public, along with other user and public-interest benefits tied to smarter operations and better information.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), FHWA, as a discretionary program using cooperative agreements, indicating FHWA may have substantial involvement during project execution compared with a more hands-off formula grant. The funding opportunity number listed is 693JJ322NF00010. For the specific notice summarized here, the award ceiling was $12,000,000, with an anticipated total of about 10 awards. The original posting date was September 19, 2022, and the original closing date was November 18, 2022. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which typically signals that multiple entity types may apply depending on the NOFO details, such as public agencies, local or regional authorities, transit entities, academic institutions, or partnerships, but the exact eligible applicant list would be defined in the full notice.
The program includes a required cost share. Federal funding may cover up to 80 percent of eligible project costs, meaning applicants must provide at least a 20 percent non-Federal match. In practice, that match can come from state or local funds, certain private contributions, or other allowable non-Federal sources, as long as they meet the NOFO requirements. This cost-sharing requirement is intended to ensure local commitment and increase the likelihood that successful deployments can be sustained beyond the Federal award period.
Finally, ATTIMD is an updated version of an earlier effort. FHWA previously ran six rounds of funding under the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) grant program. Section 13006 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Public Law 117-58), amended and renamed that earlier program to ATTIMD. The rename and update reflect a broader emphasis on innovative mobility, technology integration, and demonstrable outcomes, with deployments serving as practical testbeds that produce data and operational experience to guide future national transportation technology decisions.Apply for 693JJ322NF00010
