DOT Initiative Awards Two Contracts for Regional Demonstrations. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded nearly $3.4 million to eight states to improve safety and reduce congestion during bad weather. The funding will help support efforts to give transportation officials better, timely information about road conditions so they can respond accordingly. Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Minnesota will receive the funds from the Department. Contact: Kim Riddle (202) 366-5128.

The SAFETEA-LU Technical Corrections Act of 2008 limits the eligible projects to those in or between: Pittsburgh, Baltimore-Washington, and Atlanta-Chattanooga.
