Transportation and mobility are at the very center of the American way of life. Mobility issues impact nearly every aspect of society, including health care, recreation, education, goods manufacturing and delivery, and national security. Thus, as we address mobility issues at national, regional and local levels, we improve the quality of life for Americans.
What We Do:
UTCM facilitates mobility enhancement through competitive funding of programs in Research, Education, and Technology Transfer.
The four research focus areas of the UTCM are:
- Coast-to-coast, border-to-border mobility
- Rural public transportation
- Congestion management and mitigation
- Innovative financing
