Where can I submit my new/innovative idea to the DOT?

Answer

An Unsolicited Proposal is a written application for a new or innovative idea submitted to a Federal agency on the initiative of the offeror for the purpose of obtaining a contract with the government, and that is not in response to a Request for Proposals, Broad Agency Announcement, Program Research and Development Announcement, or any other Government-initiated solicitation or program.

For more information and a list of contacts in each operating administration in the USDOT, please see: https://www.transportation.gov/mission/administrations/assistant-secretary-administration/procurement/unsolicited-proposals
