The University Transportation Center at The University of Toledo is a partnership of UT, the lead institution, and Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio and Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan who are partners.  

The consortium will focus on Transportation for Economic Security and Development: Alternate Energy, Infrastructure Utilization, and Supply Chains. 

These are critical transportation issues that substantially impact the ability of the U.S. to compete in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. 

Future economic growth and development in this country are closely linked to the capability of the U.S. to move goods and people rapidly and efficiently while avoiding negative environmental impact to the greatest extent possible.  

The strong and consistent link between investment in transportation and economic advancement in the U.S. and in other countries is the dominant theme that drives the activities of the UT-UTC.
