Corridors in Motion: I-80 SMART Grant Update, I-35 Actions, and Federal Funding for Deployment

The I 80 and I-35 Corridors are emerging as one of the national leaders proving grounds for how digital infrastructure can transform safety, mobility, and freight operations at a truly multi state scale. This session explores both the I 80 Corridor SMART Grant project, I-35 initiatives, and other national corridors highlighting how coordinated data sharing, interoperable systems, and collaborative governance are laying the groundwork for a connected, resilient transportation network. Participants will learn why these corridors are key in safety, mobility, economic growth and national security, how they intersects with and informs other major corridors, and what it takes to align technology, policy, and partners across jurisdictions. Join this discussion to understand the progress that is shaping the future of corridor level digital infrastructure nationwide.

Erika will present on the collaborative data sharing efforts of the Connected Corridor Pooled Fund Study, the 135 Advancement Alliance, and other national initiatives.
