MarTREC is a U.S. Department of Transportation Tier 1 University Transportation Center funded through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology. MarTREC was competitively awarded through MAP-21, and the FAST Act. Now through funding of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), MarTREC’s theme of Preserving the Nation’s Transportation System through Sustainable and Resilient Maritime and Multimodal Supply Chains and Infrastructure, will contribute primarily to four United States (U.S.) Department of Transportation (DOT) strategic goals: 1) Economic Strength and Global Competitiveness, 2) Climate and Sustainability, 3) Safety, and 4) Equity. MarTREC’s vision is to be recognized as the nation’s premier source for expertise on maritime and multimodal transportation research and education.
