  • Abstract:
    Introduction: The Midwest Transportation Consortium (MTC) recently completed its sixth year of

    operation. The MTC has become an established portion of the research and educational

    programs at ISU and its partner universities. The MTC continues to emphasize its

    primary focus of developing human capital. For example, this semester, Fall, 2005, ISU

    has graduate scholars in its educational program. However, we also recognize that the

    federal grant is an opportunity to build programs at our respective universities that

    continue after the U.S. DOT UTCP may end. An example of building a long lasting

    program is the University of Missouri – St. Louis’ (UMSL) and its development of a

    transportation Ph.D. program in their business college. Admittedly, this program could

    have been started regardless, but Dr. Ray Mundy, Director of UMSL’s Transportation

    Scholars Program, believes that the MTC support of the transportation educational

    program at UMSL was the essential component in establishing a Ph.D. program.

    At ISU, the MTC has been instrumental in establishing two research and outreach

    programs, and both have themes that are related to the MTC’s theme of “Transportation

    System Management and Operation.” The Center for Weather Impacts on Mobility and

    Safety (C-WIMS) was recently established, and the Center for Road Infrastructure

    Management and Operations (RIMO) is in the process of being established. The MTC

    has a critical role in establishing each of these two programs.

    As part of the on-going MTC program, we have established an effective network that

    promotes the education of future transportation professionals and the development of new

    knowledge on how to manage transportation infrastructure and services in a more

    sustainable manner. The MTC has a track record of developing outstanding students;

    these students are now becoming leaders in the private sector, government, and academia.

    The MTC has also supported the development of an extensive research portfolio related

    to sustainable transportation asset management. More research projects are in the

    pipeline. Finally, the MTC has dedicated itself to the dissemination of asset management

    research results through an ongoing technology transfer program. This document

    provides a progress for the latest fiscal year of operation of the MTC, which ran from

    October 2004 through September 2005.
