The Federal Highway Administrations (FHWA) Accelerated Implementation and Deployment of Pavement Technologies (AIDPT) Program was established more than a decade ago under the Moving Ahead for Progress in 21st Century Act (Pub. L. 112-141). Since that time, the program has continued under Fixing Americas Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. 114-94) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Pub. L. 117-58). The program encourages highway agencies to adopt and implement new technologies proven to save money, enhance safety, improve performance and quality, increase efficiency, reduce delay, and enhance road user satisfaction.The purpose of this funding opportunity and planned cooperative agreement (Agreement) is to stimulate, facilitate, and expedite the deployment and rapid adoption of new and innovative technologies relating to the design, specification, production, testing, control, construction, investigation, operation, and impacts of concrete pavements. The Agreement will support public agencies by helping to increase the knowledge related to concrete pavements and concrete materials. The proposed project is a cooperative effort between the FHWA and the Recipient to improve the quality and performance of concrete pavements. Products will include, but not be limited to, implementation plans, market analyses, training tools, case studies, reports and analyses, and supporting stakeholder engagement via conference presentations, webinars, workshops, peer exchanges, videos, and technical assistance to public agencies. To accomplish and deliver these products, it is anticipated the Recipient will leverage engaging subject matter experts and make products available and accessible to a wide-ranging audience. This effort will leverage the unique technology capabilities and facilities of the Recipient with FHWAs mission.The goals of this funding opportunity and planned Agreement are to promote the deployment and rapid adoption of new and innovative materials, design and construction procedures, specifications, practices, and methods by which the concrete pavement can realize improved pavement performance and extended pavement life while integrating sustainability.
