NCIT Recognized by U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg
How NCIT Supports the United States Department of Transportation
NCIT’s philosophy is fully aligned with the United States Department of Transportation’s (USDOT’s) strategic goals:
- Transformation
- Equity
- Economic strength and global competitiveness
- Climate and sustainability
Because durability and resilience are closely linked through NCIT initiatives, the center’s focus is consistent with the USDOT’s statutory priority of preserving the existing transportation system as well. The center’s ability to transform policy to guide infrastructure investment is especially critical as the provisions of the IIJA are implemented.
