AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology is seeking proposals under the Interdisciplinary Transportation Law and Policy Technology Training Development program to address the evolving legal and policy challenges posed by emerging transportation technologies such as artificial intelligence, automated vehicles, and supporting digital infrastructure. This 24-month cooperative agreement aims to equip policymakers, lawmakers, and legal professionals with the knowledge needed to effectively govern these rapidly advancing fields by developing three targeted educational tools: a one-day training program for congressional staff, a one-hour executive briefing for elected officials, and a comprehensive full-semester curriculum for law students specializing in transportation policy. The selected entity will be responsible for designing, delivering, and refining these materials, culminating in regional pilot training sessions and ensuring long-term accessibility of the content for future educational and policy use. The solicitation, identified as LAWPOLICY-OSTR24, was posted on June 30, 2026, with a deadline for responses on August 28, 2026. The program is open to federal applicants and falls under the agency’s Research and Technology portfolio. All project activities must align with the goal of bridging the technical-policy knowledge gap, and the successful applicant will work closely with the Department’s designated point of contact, Special Projects Manager Kelley C Severns, via email or phone for coordination and reporting. While no specific geographic performance location is mandated, the training delivery will occur regionally across the United States, and all developed materials must be transferable and sustainable for use by federal, state, and academic institutions beyond the project period.

Full Description
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) is announcing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Interdisciplinary Transportation Law and Policy Technology Training Development program. This 24-month cooperative agreement aims to bridge the critical knowledge gap between fast-changing transportation technologies and our Nation's policymakers, lawmakers, and legal counsel.
The primary objective of this program is to research, prioritize, and provide instructional materials on rapidly developing transportation technologies, specifically artificial intelligence (AI), automated vehicles (AV), and the digital infrastructure supporting automation. The selected applicant will be responsible for developing three distinct educational tools: a one-day training course for congressional and support staff, a one-hour Executive Briefing for busy elected leaders and policymakers, and a full-semester curriculum for law students planning to work in transportation policy. The project will culminate in regional pilot training sessions and the transfer of materials for future use.
