Abstract:
The New England Transportation Consortium (NETC) is a cooperative effort of the transportation agencies of the six New England States, the six New England state land grant universities and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Through the Consortium, the states pool professional, academic and financial resources for transportation research leading to the development of improved methods for dealing with common problems associated with the administration, planning, design, construction, rehabilitation, reconstruction, operation and maintenance of the region’s transportation system. The Consortium’s activities are currently being managed by the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth (UMass-D), with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) acting as the Lead Agency. The program is intended to supplement, not to replace, ongoing state and federal research activities and other national programs such as the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP). To this end, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), establishing NETC has been consummated by the six New England state transportation agencies. The following goals were established for NETC in order to focus the resolve of participating state transportation agencies and universities: Implementation of a three-pronged program for the New England region consisting of research and development; technology transfer; and education and training. Development of improved methods for dealing with common transportation problems. Providing an important source of trained professionals for employment in the Region. NETC membership now extends to the following agencies: ConnDOT; Massachusetts Department of Transportation; Maine Department of Transportation; New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT); Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT); Vermont Agency of Transportation (VAOT); and, FHWA. Each of the member state transportation agencies has designated a state university to participate with the state transportation agency in developing and conducting the transportation research program. The following universities have been designated as member universities: University of Connecticut, University of Maine, University of Massachusetts System, University of New Hampshire System, University of Rhode Island, and University of Vermont.
