STIC are creating a culture of innovation in the highway community as they lead deployment of new technologies and practices in their states. Offers technical assistance and funds - up to $100,000 per STIC per year - to support the costs of standardizing innovative practices in a state transportation agency or other public sector STIC stakeholder.
