Synopsis

May 7, 2020 UPDATE: Because of stay-at-home orders currently in place through the United States due to the coronavirus pandemic, OST-R hereby WAIVES the requirement stated in the Notice of Funding Opportunity for two hard copies of the application to be submitted by June 2, 2020. All other submission requirements remain in place. -

The U.S. Dept. of Transportation seeks applications for four new Tier 1 University Transportation Centers, intending (subject to the merits of applications received) to fund one UTC in each of the following specific topic areas:

  1. Highly Automated Transportation Systems Research
  2. Communications Technology and E-Commerce Effects on Travel Demand
  3. Implications of Accessible Automated Vehicles and Mobility Services for People with Disabilities
  4. Strategic Implications of Changing Public Transportation Travel Trends

Under statutory restrictions, lead/grantee universities on the twenty current Tier 1 UTCs with grants initially awarded in 2016 are not eligible to receive one of the new Tier 1 grants; non-lead consortium-member universities on current Tier 1 UTCs are eligible. More information about this is contained in the Notice of Funding Opportunity.
