Synopsis
In 2023, the U.S. Department of Transportation selected through competition 35 University Transportation Centers Program grants authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 to receive funds from Federal Fiscal Years 2022-2026. Now five of those UTCs are available again for a new competitive selection. These grants will receive three annual increments of funding totaling $33 million and will operate from 2026 to 2030, to establish and operate a university transportation center to advance transportation expertise and technology, provide for a critical multimodal transportation knowledge base out of the Department of Transportation, and address critical workforce needs and educate the next generation of transportation leaders.
