The United States Department of Transportation (the Department) is publishing this notice to give eligible nonprofit institutions of higher learning advance notice that they will have an opportunity to submit grant applications for the University Transportation Centers (UTCs) program (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 20.701).
The purpose of these Centers is to: Advance transportation expertise and technology in the many disciplines that comprise transportation through research, education and workforce development, and technology transfer; Provide a critical transportation knowledge base outside the US DOT; and Address vital workforce needs and educate the next generation of transportation leaders.
Institutions may apply for multiple grants, and may choose to apply for grants under more than one type of UTC category (National, Regional or Tier 1). However, the FAST Act restricts the type of grants that an institution might receive as a lead institution of a consortium to one in each type of UTC category (National, Regional or Tier 1).
