Dear CTPP community: 

Perhaps you have an idea for a data-related (or any other) project that could be funded under this FHWA solicitation (see the list of priority topics below).  

"FHWA strongly encourages cost sharing under any contract that may result, and can offer cooperative agreements if the proposer can offer a cost share of 50 percent from non-federal sources of funding...The FHWA strongly encourages proposals that offer a significant non-federal matching funds or in-kind resources. Cost reasonableness and realism will also be considered in the overall selection process."
