Description
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) will open a competitive $2 million Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Tribal Transportation Safety Strategy Pilot Program. This three-year initiative will establish a university-led consortium to address the disproportionately high rate of traffic fatalities among American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) populations. The project will develop a next-generation strategic safety plan, leverage artificial intelligence for risk-based analysis, and culminate in a pilot program that constructs a low-cost but impactful safety infrastructure demonstration in at least one federally recognized Tribal community
