University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) Technology Transfer and Training - Mixed-Mode

The Region 2 University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) is one of ten original University Transportation Centers established in 1987 by the U.S. Congress. These Centers were established with the recognition that transportation plays a key role in the nation's economy and the quality of life of its citizens. The UTRC was established in order to support research, education and the transfer of technology in the field of transportation. UTRC has a broad based Technology Transfer program that is far-reaching and responsive to the needs of both practicing professionals and interested citizens. By promoting an immediate and ongoing exchange of ideas, regional outreach is provided in many forms including presentations at large and small scale technical briefings, participation in regional transportation projects and advisory boards, representation at major local and national transportation conferences, publication in technical journals, community assistance, seminars, working papers, newsletters, report dissemination, and continual regional contact. Technology Transfer Seminars in addition to its public conferences and lectures, UTRC organizes in-house seminar series to meet the needs of government agencies within Region 2. Its longstanding seminar series for the staff of the New Jersey Department of Transportation has in recent years addressed issues of public transit economics, seismic retrofits of bridges, and smart growth. In 2005, UTRC will launch a new seminar series for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council.For more information about the technology transfer activities of the UTRC, contact UTRC at their offices at the Institute for Transportation Systems of The City College of New York.
