The University of Toledo

The vision of the UT-UTC is to develop technology-enabled intermodal transportation systems and supply chains that promote economic development and quality of life. It will provide research, education and training, and planning and technical assistance in developing and maintaining technology enabled, efficient, secure, and environmentally sound transportation systems, supply chains, and logistic processes. It will emphasize technology transfer to stimulate economic growth and vitality.

The UTC will facilitate the application and integration of public and private sector ideas, foster cooperation among the academic partners, and educate current and future leads who have diverse backgrounds and innovative perspectives. This UTC will work with other organizations and institutions to create, pool, and disseminate knowledge that is critical to the long-term success of the U.S. economy. The UTC will provide benefits to state DOTs, departments of development, and transportation planning agencies. To ensure this, stakeholders will be involved in advisory groups, which will help to focus efforts and achieve success as defined by customers.
