At the recent CUTC meetings in Portland, we were given information on the new USDOT research clusters. RITA has built a pilot website with a goal to "improving the collaborative capabilities offered to transportation researchers and other related stakeholders both inside and outside DOT. The initial phase of this effort will focus on improving collaboration among the four (4) regional networks comprising the National Transportation Knowledge Network, approximately sixty (60) University Transportation Centers (UTCs), and the collaborative work of Position Navigation and Timing. Other transportation research topics entities will be added as the site develops into a full-fledged venue for transportation research collaboration."
