TXSTIC Background

2

In 2010, FHWA implemented the Every Day Counts (EDC) initiative to shorten project delivery and expedite the deployment of proven technologies.

FHWA introduced the STIC concept to state DOTs and industry partners as a

process to facilitate the EDC initiatives.

March 22, 2016 - TxDOT and FHWA Texas Division signs the Texas STIC charter as the 51st STIC in the country.
