Working with the Environmental Protection Agency, the  pilot will look at how truck deliveries made outside of peak and rush hours &#8212; \u00a0when there is less traffic on the highways &#8212; can save time and money for  freight carriers, improve air quality and create more sustainable and livable  cities.<br \/>\nThe FHWA anticipates the funding will be used to help businesses retool  their operations to accommodate shipments during off hours and distributors  reconfigure routes and supply chains. All levels of government are eligible to  apply.  While transportation agencies are eligible to apply for the grants, FHWA  encourages them to partner with businesses involved in freight movement.<br \/>\nFor more information, consult the <a href=\"http:\/\/apply07.grants.gov\/apply\/opportunities\/instructions\/oppDTFH61-12-RA- 00016-cfda20.200-cidDTFH61-12-RA-00016-instructions.pdf\">solicitation<\/a> at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grants.gov\">grants.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FHWA Office\u00a0Office of Freight Management and Operations has released a RFA for Off Hours Freight Delivery Pilot Project Grants.
