Announcement of grant solicitation for University Transportation Centers (UTC) Program.
Summary
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) plans to establish and maintain one University Transportation Center in each of the ten standard federal regions. The mission of the Centers is to advance U.S. technology and expertise in the many disciplines comprising transportation through the mechanisms of education, research and technology transfer at university-based centers of excellence. To accomplish this purpose, DOT will provide up to $1 million per Center for each of the five consecutive academic years starting in 1999. Each Center is required to obtain matching funds from non-federal sources in an amount at least equal to the DOT grant. DOT funding will be awarded in annual increments, on the basis of each Center's success in attaining the goals of the program and subject to the availability of funding.
