The National Institute for Transportation and Communities (NITC), a federally funded University Transportation Center, is reaching the end of the USDOT grant this year. We couldn’t be prouder to share the great work UArizonians and our partners have been doing since 2016. We have so much to celebrate and share!
Since NITC was awarded in 2016, the UArizona has participated in over 20 NITC projects and research activities. We’ve funded over 60 students at the UArizona with travel support and scholarships with more than 80 awards. And with our six partner universities, we’ve spent nearly $17M in research and scholarship activities and programming to support goals to advance transportation research, leadership development, education and workforce development, technology transfer, collaboration, and initiatives to support diversity in transportation education and research. The NITC university partner projects spread across four states have included collaborations with nearly 90 unique community partners, and we’ve had the privilege of celebrating thousands of conferred degrees focused on or related to transportation disciplines or themes since 2016.
Please join us for one last NITC event at UArizona next Tuesday August 29, from 4-5 p.m. in the Underwood Sonoran Garden. This informal gathering is open to all students, faculty, staff, collaborators and community partners who have participated in, are curious about, or who helped support NITC scholarship over the past few years. We’ll serve some celebratory treats, and we’d love to discuss and share past NITC scholarship, it’s impact across the university and community and ideas for future collaborations.
Stop by to join in the celebration of seven years of NITC at the UArizona. Let's hear what the NITC might mean for all of you.
