State Transportation Innovation Council

 


The Pennsylvania State Transportation Innovation Council (STIC) facilitates the rapid implementation of proven, well-researched and documented state, regional, national and international technologies, tactics, techniques and any other innovations that are new to Pennsylvania. The STIC also supports and promotes the implementation of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Every Day Counts (EDC) innovations.

The STIC accepts innovation submissions from Pennsylvania transportation stakeholders and partners. Selected innovations are developed for deployment and promoted to become standard practice within the transportation community.
