The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $60 million in grants to the Utah Department of Transportation, the Maricopa County (Arizona) Department of Transportation, and Texas A&M’s Texas Transportation Institute under the Saving Lives with Connectivity: Accelerating V2X Deployment program to advance connected and interoperable vehicle technologies. The Saving Lives with Connectivity: Accelerating V2X Deployment initiative focuses on enhancing road safety, mobility, and efficiency through technology that enables vehicles and wireless devices to communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure, providing warnings. V2X can contribute to the Safe System Approach adopted by the USDOT’s National Roadway Safety Strategy, a comprehensive approach launched in January 2022 to address the crisis of roadway deaths. During the session, each grant awardee will share their grant project scope, lessons learned, and best practices for deploying V2X.
