The purpose of this document is to provide information on existing or planned university based transportation related research laboratory facilities at National University transportation Centers designated through the SAFETEA-LU highway bill. The goal in developing this document was to provide a reference “tool” of available national assets that could be used by federal, state, local, tribal, and private industry transportation professionals; increase awareness and encourage laboratory utilization; and reduce the potential for redundancy in the facilities offered to maximize federal funding utilization.
