Industry Resources
Explore the latest in connected vehicle technology, traffic signal optimization, transportation funding, and safety strategies all in one place. This page brings together key resources from across the industry to help public agencies, traffic engineers, and planners stay ahead of trends, access funding opportunities, and apply proven strategies in the field. Below is a list of quick links to help you learn more about these latest trends.
Connected & Autonomous Vehicles (CAV)
Connected vehicle technology is changing how transportation systems operate by linking vehicles, infrastructure, and personal devices through real-time wireless communication. These resources break down federal policy, use cases, deployment programs, and system integration. If you are building V2X corridors or aligning with national ITS standards, this is the foundation. Smart, safe, and future-ready mobility starts here.
Traffic Signal Timing & Optimization
Signal timing today is built on data, adaptability, and measurable performance. This section covers FHWA strategies, connected vehicle applications, and advanced optimization methods that improve corridor flow and reduce congestion. Whether you are upgrading one intersection or managing a regional network, these tools help you design signal operations that meet modern demands.
Transportation Funding & Grants
Securing funding means knowing the right programs, the right approach, and how to make your proposal stand out. These resources highlight key federal initiatives like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Safe Streets for All, and the FAST Act. Get guidance on eligibility, proposal writing, and where to find active opportunities for ITS, safety, and traffic system improvements.
General Funding Resources
- Funding Opportunities
- How to Write a Grant Proposal
- The FAST Act – America’s $305B long-term transportation bill
- The FAST Act Key Provisions Presentation
- NUSDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program
- Grants.gov is an excellent resource to search for and view active federal grants
Traffic Safety & Vision Zero
Vision Zero is more than a goal. It is a strategy built on engineering, enforcement, and education to eliminate traffic fatalities. These resources offer guidance on what is working in cities today, how to apply federal safety data, and which frameworks align with national standards. If you are developing safety plans or deploying countermeasures, this is where the work starts.
