the NETT Council to address 

coordination on emerging technology 

issues across all modes of 

transportation. The NETT Council shall 

(1) identify and resolve jurisdictional 

and regulatory gaps or inconsistencies 

associated with nontraditional and 

emerging transportation technologies, 

modes, or projects pending or brought 

before the Department of Transportation 

to reduce, to the maximum extent 

practicable, impediments to the prompt 

and safe deployment of new and 

innovative transportation technology, 

including with respect to safety 

oversight, environmental review, and 

funding and financing issues; (2) 

coordinate the response of the 

Department of Transportation to 

nontraditional and emerging

Transportation-wide processes, 

solutions, and best practices for 

identifying and managing nontraditional 

and emerging transportation technology 

projects. 

DOT is focused on improving safety, 

economic strength and creating goodpaying jobs with the choice of a union, 

equity, climate, and resilience. DOT is 

also modernizing a transportation 

system of the future through research 

and innovation—all while maintaining 

the highest standards in organizational 

excellence. DOT is seeking public 

comments to help inform the future 

work and direction of the NETT 

Council. The questions below are meant 

to guide commenters; however, 

commenters are invited to provide their 

views or general comments related to 

how the Council evaluates 

transportation innovation, and relevant 

innovations for it to focus on. If 

relevant, please provide technical 

information, regulatory citations, data, 

or other evidence to support your 

comments. 

The NETT Council’s Work 

1. How can the NETT Council most 

effectively serve as an entry point for 

nontraditional and emerging innovation 

and technologies ready for integration 

into the transportation system? 

2. What has worked well, and not 

well, about the current structure and 

activities of the NETT Council? 

Considering a Range of Perspectives in 

the NETT Council’s Analyses 

3. How can the NETT Council best 

incorporate the perspective of and 

engage with other Federal agencies and 

a broad range of stakeholders (e.g., 

academia, labor unions, state, local, and 

tribal governments, private sector) to 

fully understand potential issues and 

opportunities related to transportation 

innovation? 

4. How can the NETT Council more 

effectively reflect inputs from a broad 

range of transportation stakeholders to 

assess the positive and negative 

consequences of transportation 

innovation? 

5. Are there additional stakeholders 

the NETT Council’s analysis should 

reflect? 

6. Are there stakeholder groups that 

have been marginalized in 

transportation technology innovation 

that should be better represented in the 

NETT Council’s analysis and work? 

Priority Technologies and Innovations 

for the NETT Council To Review 

7. Using DOT’s authorities, what 

nontraditional and emerging innovation 

and technologies should NETT Council 

prioritize for analysis as most impactful, 

positive or negative, for the 

transportation system? What emerging 

innovations have the most significant 

potential impact on DOT’s strategic 

goals of safety, economic strength & 

global competitiveness, including 

creating good-paying jobs, equity, 

climate and sustainability, 

transformation, and organizational 

excellence? 

8. What emerging innovations face 

gaps in focus, support, and/or regulation 

under DOT’s existing regulatory 

frameworks, and should be reviewed by 

the NETT Council? 

9. What emerging transportation 

technologies should the NETT Council 

evaluate for their potential to contribute
