Opens February 14th at 9 am ET
Every Day Counts (EDC) is a State-based model that identifies and rapidly deploys proven, yet underutilized innovations to improve safety for all users, shorten the project delivery process, create an equitable transportation system, and build sustainable and resilient infrastructure. The summit is an integral component of the EDC model, bringing together transportation leaders and front-line professionals responsible for the development and delivery of highway projects. This year’s EDC-7 summit will be conducted virtually and is open to all to encourage creative thinking and celebrate a shared vision for new opportunities.
EDC is Innovation for a Nation on the Move. In this cycle, the seven initiatives feature strategies to improve safety for all users, build sustainable infrastructure for the future, and grow an inclusive workforce. There will be presentations, fact sheets, videos, virtual booths, and pdfs of innovations developed by the National State Transportation Innovation Council Network available to all registered participants.
