DOT awards research grants

Jan 17, 2012

U.S. Department of Transportation awarded $77 million in grants to 22 University Transportation Centers to advance transportation research and education programs.

The UTCs conduct research that directly supports DOT priorities.

DOT’s Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), which administers the UTC program, selected 10 UTCs, two transit-focused UTCs and 10 regional UTCs. Each of the selected UTCs will receive a $3.5 million grant to match with funds from non-federal sources.
