The Department of Transportation is investing over $60M for 32 university transportation centers to address transportation-related issues. UTCs, each representing a university, conduct research on issues in the national, regional and local levels of transportation, USDOT said Tuesday.
âThe Department continues to invest in the future of American transportation by funding these research efforts at leading institutions of higher education,â said Elaine Chao, secretary of transportation.
