The Eastern Transportation Coalition saw a growing demand for quick-response projects that foster innovative and implementable ideas, test emerging technologies and leverage data that could not be satisfied through existing funding. As a result, they have established a process, Special Cooperative Projects (SCOOP), to identify potential projects from TETC public agency members that meet this criteria.

TETC will convene the SCOOP Steering Committee who are responsible for selection of projects for funding. If a project is selected, TETC will handle contracting and project management. SCOOP does not provide such project funding directly to agencies, however, TETC will work with the submitters of selected project submitters and SCOOP representatives for their input and guidance during development of scope and delivery.

Please use this form to provide TETC with project ideas to be considered for the FY25 round of SCOOP. Deadline for FY 25 SCOOP consideration is May 31, 2024. Submissions received after that date will be added to the list for next year's consideration.

Please contact Lisa Miller (limiller@tetcoalition.org) for more information.
