2) TCC/FTA Research Program in Transportation

The Rutgers Transportation Coordinating Council (TCC) has been awarded a major research and education grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation/Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The primary goal of the grant is to promote university-based research and workforce training in all areas related to multi-modal transit systems. The Office of the President announced the funding of a university-wide research and graduate fellowship program, similar to the Academic Excellence Fund, to provide seed funds to support the goals of the program. Some of the key areas of interest are infrastructure engineering and asset management, planning and policy, infrastructure security and risk management, intelligent transportation systems, transportation economics, and advanced information technology.

Those interested in participating in these programs should visit the Transportation Coordinating Council website http://www.tcc.rutgers.edu/ to learn more about the application process and grant requirements.
