DOT has broad authority under transportation law in the U.S. Code to establish a performance-based approach to reduce transportation-related air pollution. It is clear that congressionally established goals, including “to protect and enhance the environment and improve quality of life,” cannot be achieved if carbon pollution and other greenhouse gases are not included in the performance measures for our transportation systems.

While GPS mapping was groundbreaking, auto manufacturers and tech companies are now rushing to create sophisticated, ultra-precise maps of cities and every possible inch of road throughout the United States. The primary objective is to build functional and thorough digital representations of urban environments that autonomous vehicles, drones, and other automated technologies can use to safely navigate to any destination.

August 10, 2016 – Of the nine rural TIGER grants awarded at the end of last year, a streetscape project in the City of Live Oak, California stood out as a prime example of how a municipality can leverage their county, state, and federal representatives to successfully navigate the application process – to the tune of $10 million.
