This report presents the results of our audit of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) management and oversight of the $54 million awarded under the Transportation Technology Innovation Demonstration Program (TTID). TTID was conceived as a partnership between the public and private sectors. The private partner would install and operate technology that collected traffic data from public roadways in exchange for the exclusive right to generate revenue from the data, such as by marketing on-air traffic reports. If revenue reached a certain threshold, the private partner would share the proceeds with the public partner. The private partner would also give the data to the public partner to manage traffic congestion--such as locating and responding to traffic crashes and planning infrastructure projects for congested road segments. Congestion costs Americans $78 billion annually, including 4.2 billion hours of excess travel time and 2.9 billion gallons of extra fuel.
