DOT Federal Highway Administration

Description

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) hereby requests applications to result in the award of approximately three cooperative agreements to conduct applied research on “Off Hours Freight Delivery.”The FHWA will award up to $450,000 in research cooperative agreements to explore the efficacy of implementing off-hours goods movement and delivery programs in small to medium size urban areas with emerging or growing congestion problems. Working with the EPA, the pilot shall look at how truck deliveries made outside of peak and rush hours - when there is less traffic on the highways - can save time and money for freight carriers, improve air quality and create more sustainable and livable cities. FHWA expects offerors to collaborate with the European Commission (EC) on similar projects. This project should address off-hours goods movement and delivery programs and should capitalize on the existing experience available in Europe.
