Ce nte r fo r Ac c e le ra ting Inno va tio n What is “Every Day Counts” (EDC)? State-based model to identify and rapidly deploy proven but underutilized innovations to:  shorten the project delivery process  enhance roadway safety  reduce congestion  improve environmental sustainability  EDC Rounds: two year cycles  Initiating 5 th Round (2019-2020) - 10 innovations  To date: 4 Rounds, over 40 innovations For more information: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/innovation/ FAST Act, Sec.1444 2
