The AID Demonstration provides funding as an incentive for eligible entities to accelerate the implementation and adoption of innovation in highway transportation.  The AID Demonstration is one initiative under the multi-faceted Technology and Innovation Deployment Program (TIDP) approach providing funding and other resources to offset the risk of trying an innovation.  We are currently planning for the launch of the FY 2025 solicitation.  Please check back for AID Demonstration FY 2025 Information Session dates posted on this website.
