Through the Consortium, the state's 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. |
