Abstract:In October 2008 the Midwest Transportation Consortium (MTC) began its
second of three years as a Tier I University Transportation Center (UTC).
Its theme, “Transportation Safety through Improvements in Management
Information Systems,” reflects the strong emphasis on safety in the current
federal transportation policy bill (SAFETEA-LU).
The MTC is composed of Iowa’s three Regent universities: Iowa State
University (ISU) (lead organization), The University of Iowa (UIowa),
and the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). Located in a largely rural
region, the MTC generally focuses on intercity/rural traffic safety for
motor vehicles. All three universities have conducted and are conducting
traffic safety research, each within a specific niche:
• ISU—Crash statistics and analysis to support safety in the design
and operations of roadways
• UIowa—Human factors to improve safety
• UNI—Geographic information systems and statistical tools to
conduct safety analysis
