The 324 US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has plans for multiple pilot deployments of connected vehicle technology in real-world settings throughout the country, bringing the promise of connected vehicles to some US roads even sooner. The pilots will serve as initial implementations of connected vehicle technology with the aim of delivering near-term safety, mobility, and environmental benefits.
 
In early 2015, the USDOT will seek proposals from a wide variety of communities interested in being part of the Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployment program. In anticipation of this upcoming opportunity, stakeholders have started asking questions about the program, connected vehicle technologies, and other related topics. On the Connected Vehicle Pilot website, the USDOT maintains a log of FAQs, and will highlight the most frequently-asked questions in a series of e-mail announcements over the next few months.
