University Transportation Centers Program
 NIATT
has been a proud member of the University Transportation Centers
Program since 1991. Our theme is advanced technology for
sustainable transportation.
Our mission is to
- Develop engineering solutions (knowledge and
technology) to transportation problems for the state of Idaho,
the Pacific Northwest, and the United States, and
- Prepare our students to be leaders in the design,
deployment, and operation of our nation’s complex transportation
systems.
During the past eight years, we used the UTC
investment of $6.2 million to develop a comprehensive program of
education, research, and technology transfer. UTC funds are used to
support two of NIATT's research centers. |
Center for Traffic Operations and Control
 The mission of the Center for Traffic
Operations and Control is to develop, test, and evaluate
technology products supporting advanced traffic control
systems.

Center for Clean Vehicle Technology
 The
mission for the Center for Clean Vehicle Technology is
to develop, test, and evaluate technologies that reduce
the impact vehicles have on the environment. This
includes technologies for the new generation of vehicles
as well as for recreational vehicles to be used in
environmentally sensitive areas such as national parks.
