Transportation Centers (UTC) Program.

SUMMARY: The US Department of Transportation (DOT) plans to establish

standard federal regions. The mission of the Centers is to advance U.S.
technology and expertise in the many disciplines comprising
transportation through the mechanisms of education, research and

be awarded in annual increments, on the basis of each Center's success
in attaining the goals of the program and subject to the availability
of funding.
