Does the Department have preferred characteristics for candidate pilot corridors in Phase II (e.g., port-centric, interstate freight, intermodal, rural supply chain corridors), or is corridor selection intended to be proposer-defined based on operational feasibility and partner availability?

USDOT does not mandate a specific preferred type or scale of freight corridor for the Phase I proof-of-concept. Similarly, during Phase II, the specific geographic selection for pilot corridors is proposer-defined based on partner availability and operational feasibility. For Phase II, applicants will conduct field pilots along 2–3 representative freight corridors that encompass urban, rural, and intermodal environments. Corridor selection should align with the required Phase II stakeholder partnerships.
