• Founded in Fall 2006• Funded through SAFETEA LU Transportation Law• One of 10 National Transportation Centers• Theme: Sustainable Systems and Advanced Technologies for
Northern Communities• Multi-disciplinary research • Diverse partners: Academic and research institutions, Vermont
state agencies, community, public and private partners, US DOT, other transportation centers
![Page 22: Clean Cities Roundtable March 28, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568159a3550346895dc6fd00/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
University/USDOT invests in a center…
• Distribution of funding is not core goal • Goals
– Grow research capacity and education programs – Academic synergy collaboration – visible hub– Seminars, large proposal development, facilitate
interaction– Transportation Research Capacity = computer
systems and programs, staff, support, equipment, labs, expertise, unique data = support faculty research

Signature Project 1: Modeling Transportation and Development Patterns
Modeling Transportation and Development Patterns
• What will the transportation system and landscape look like in 20 years? What is the environmental impact of different fleets of vehicles?
• Compare micro and macro land-use and transportation system models.
• Develop improved policy-relevant metrics that can be estimated based on transportation model outputs (carbon footprints, local freight access, road salt impact, storm water, network robustness).
![Page 26: Clean Cities Roundtable March 28, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568159a3550346895dc6fd00/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Signature Project 2: Emissions and Performance of Alternative Vehicles in Northern Climates
Emissions and Performance of Alternative Vehicles in Northern Climates
• Monitor the performance and emissions of personal vehicles and transit buses powered by alternative fuels. The project will include real-time sensor development for data collection.
• Evaluate the issues affecting market penetration for personal vehicles that use alternative energy.

Signature Project 3: Sustainable Transportation for Tourism
Sustainable Transportation for Tourism:
• Marketing sustainable tourism• Travel patterns of tourists• Energy costs and climate
change issues related to tourism
![Page 28: Clean Cities Roundtable March 28, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568159a3550346895dc6fd00/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Signature Project 4: Non-motorized Transportation, Livability and Isolation in Northern Communities
• Document climate impacts on bicycle and pedestrian travel patterns
• Measure liveability/isolation as a function of built environment
• Focus on rural towns and senior citizens
![Page 29: Clean Cities Roundtable March 28, 2007](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/568159a3550346895dc6fd00/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Why does Clean Cities fit at UVM UTC?
• Theme overlap
• Leverage UTC and University resources
• Outreach / education missions
• Both want to focus on communities but network nationally
• Interdisciplinary goals
