The UTC Program is a federal grant program that funds university-based transportation centers to conduct research, education and workforce development, and technology transfer activities. Grants are administered and managed by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) staff in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) in Washington, D.C.

  • highlights examples of ongoing or recently completed UTC research projects by each of the 32 Centers; and
