EDC1
The first group of innovations, or EDC-1, was identified in 2010. These innovations were promoted through Every Day Counts during 2011 and 2012. Read detailed descriptions of these innovations here.
EDC2
In the end of 2012, sponsorship of the EDC-1 innovations by the Every Day Counts initiative came to a close, and a new set of innovations, EDC-2, was selected for deployment. Some of these were hold-overs from EDC-1, while others were new to the Every Day Counts initiative. All of them provide ways of improving the work of highway planning, design, construction and operation. Read details here.
