A DECADE OF NITC RESEARCH: IMPACTS ON TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY

2022 marks the tenth year that the National Institute for Transportation and Communities (NITC) has been supporting research, education, and technology transfer through our multi-campus partnership. With three successive US DOT university transportation center (UTC) grants, NITC has maintained a focus on creating sustainable, livable, and equitable communities. We're looking back on our cumulative decade of our work to define our future research efforts in meeting the most important challenges facing transportation agencies and policymakers.
A national UTC designated by the US DOT under the FAST Act, NITC focuses on the federal research priority of improving mobility of people and goods through:
- Increasing access to opportunities
- Improving multi-modal planning and shared use of infrastructure
- Advancing innovation and smart cities
- Developing data, models, and tools
Led by Portland State University, this partnership includes University of Oregon, Oregon Institute of Technology, University of Utah, University of Arizona and University of Texas at Arlington.
