The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) offers STIC Incentive Funding, as well as technical assistance, to support the standardization and advancement of innovative practices. The NJ STIC receives $125,000 each year and state and local public agencies in transportation are eligible to apply.
To be eligible, a project or activity must have a statewide impact in fostering a culture for innovation or in standardizing an innovative practice, and must align with FHWA’s Technology Innovation Deployment Program goals. The NJ STIC will prioritize funding projects and activities that advance innovations such as the Every Day Counts (EDC) innovations that are being promoted by FHWA.
NJ STIC solicits ideas for funding of proposed innovation projects each federal fiscal year. Selected projects are then submitted to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for approval. The request submittal does not guarantee funding nor award of funding.
The NJDOT Bureau of Research, Innovation and Information Transfer (BRIIT) is ready to answer your questions and assist applicants. For more information on eligibility, proposal requirements, past funded projects, and more, please visit: the New Jersey STIC Incentive Fund Requests webpage.
