A new U-Md. research center will study fairer, greener transportation networks

Along with billions of dollars to build roads, bridges and transit lines, the federal infrastructure law included funding to boost research into the future of the nation’s transportation system. The University of Maryland was awarded $10 million to launch a new research center, in partnership with teams at four other colleges, that will focus on some of the Biden administration’s top priorities. The Center for Multi-Modal Mobility in Urban, Rural, and Tribal Areas will examine how to build fairer, greener transportation networks, while promoting economic growth.
