Next Workshop & Conference: Innovations in Pricing of Transportation Systems (May 13-14, 2010)
The University of Florida Transportation Research Center (TRC) was established by the former Florida Board of Regents in 1972 to provide a central point through which transportation research could be performed and reported. TRC researchers have been leaders in the transportation field through active participation in various national and international organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Transportation Research Board (TRB), and the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Investigators associated with the TRC have performed sponsored research exceeding $25 million in the past five years.
Housed in the Department of Civil & Coastal Engineering, the TRC works with a number of academic units throughout the college and the university, including industrial and systems engineering, urban and regional planning and occupational therapy.
In 2007, the TRC was awarded a Tier-1 University Transportation Center (UTC) from the Research and Innovative Technology Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). The UTC, also known as the Center for Multimodal Solutions for Congestion Mitigation (CMS), receives up to $1 million per year and matching funds from non-federal sources such as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
