The University Transportation Center for Alabama (UTCA) conducts transportation education, research, and technology transfer activities using faculty members and students from The University of Alabama, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, and The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UA, UAB and UAH).

Our mission is to advance technology and expertise in the multiple disciplines that comprise transportation through the mechanisms of education, research, and technology transfer while serving as a university-based center of excellence.

UTCA Project Awards are available to faculty and staff at UA System campuses. View a detailed breakdown of the UTCA Project Award Process.
