APBP Webinar - University Transportation Centers 101

An Overview of the UTC Program and Exploring How Practitioners Can Engage the Process

Presenter: Nick Ferenchak, PhD, PE 

This webinar will provide an introduction to the University Transportation Center (UTC) program. UTCs are consortia of colleges and universities across the United States that are funded by the US DOT. UTCs aim to advance the state-of-the-art in transportation research and technology and develop the next generation of transportation professionals. Directors from the Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety (CPBS) will discuss their experience with the UTC program and give an overview of research, technology transfer, workforce development, and education efforts that they have been pursuing. The webinar will also explore how practitioners can engage with the UTC process. 

After a presentation by the UTC directors, there will be an open discussion aimed at developing collaborations between practitioners and UTCs.
