# USDOT Launches Highway Data Funding Program

The U.S. Department of Transportation announced **$20 million** for the FY 2026 Great American Digital Corridors Program, which will fund projects creating public, real-time data feeds across multi-state highway corridors. The federal share may cover 100% of project costs. Applications are due within 45 days of the Notice of Funding Opportunity’s publication, and USDOT anticipates announcing selections in early 2027.

- The opportunity is identified as **NOFO 364263** and focuses on real-time data integration and highway safety information across multi-state corridors.
- Applicants may seek full federal coverage of project costs, which could support proposals involving data-feed development, integration, and corridor-wide deployment.
- Contractors can assess how their transportation data and integration capabilities could support public-sector applicants. The application deadline is tied to the NOFO publication date; the signal does not specify that date.
