MARYLAND - The US Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration awarded a $11.9 million grant to Maryland today to improve safety and mobility on US Route 50. 



The grant is through the Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) program and will go to the Maryland Department of Transportation as part of a $52.78 million investment package under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The grant is one of eight awards designated to projects around the nation that utilize technology-based solutions for improved travel on highway and transit systems, according to the US Department of Transportation. Projects in areas that previously lacked investments, including rural and impoverished areas, will see expanded eligibility.
