The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is now accepting nominations for 2026 Build a Better Mousetrap (BABM), a National Competition Highlighting Transportation Innovations.
The BABM recognizes state and local government and tribal agencies who use homegrown innovations to improve safety in their transportation programs. Many of these ideas come from the front-line workers who are looking for better ways to get the job done while saving money, time and improving efficiency.
The top winning innovations included a modified speed cushion designed to deter speeding drivers, a trackless automated loaded, fifth wheel tractors to function as plow trucks during the winter and converting old street sweeper units into leaf vac units.
The FHWA's Center for Local Aid Support team is currently taking nominations through Friday, June 7th. Agencies must contact their state's Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Center or regional Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center for more information and assistance on the application.
Ideas are everywhere and we look forward to seeing yours today.
