TRI part of a team to receive $5 million Department of Transportation grant


Old Dominion University is part of a consortium of six mid-Atlantic schools to receive a $5.16 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to research and develop energy efficient and environmentally sustainable modes of transportation. Old Dominion University's Transportation Research Institute, part of the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology, will contribute research and innovation to the Mid-Atlantic Transportation Sustainability University Transportation Center (MATS UTC), a joint venture that will allow the participating schools to work toward promoting sustainable and resilient infrastructure, adaptation to extreme weather and reducing the country's dependence on foreign oil.

MATS UTC will be headquartered at the University of Virginia. The other members of the MATS UTC are Virginia Tech, the University of Delaware, Morgan State University and Marshall University. The winning grant proposal, submitted in January, was selected from Region 3, which includes Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. This is the first time ODU has become a partner of a regional UTC.
