The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) is building this pilot website with a view to improving the collaborative capabilities offered to transportation researchers and other related stakeholders both inside and outside DOT. The initial phase of this effort will focus on improving collaboration among the four (4) regional networks comprising the National Transportation Knowledge Network, approximately sixty (60) University Transportation Centers (UTCs), and the collaborative work of Position Navigation and Timing. Other transportation research topics entities will be added as the site develops into a full-fledged venue for transportation research collaboration.

National Transportation Library (NTL)

The National Transportation of Library of RITA provides leadership and coordination in the development of regional and topical transportation knowledge networks. The National Transportation Library site provides a platform for regional libraries to exchange information, share resources, and enhance collaboration. The site is accessible via the top navigation bar.

University Transportation Center (UTC) Performanc

The University Transportation Centers Program under Research, Development, and Technology (RD&T) of RITA manages federal grants to universities across the United States to advance the state-of-the-art in transportation research and development next generation of transportation professionals. The UTC Performance site collects UTC performance indicators and presents performance charts. This site is under development.

Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT)

DOT has been designated the lead civil agency for Positioning, Navigation, and Timing matters. Within DOT, RITA is the lead administration, carrying out this work through the DOT Extended Pos/Nav Working Group and Executive Committee. The RITA External SharePoint site, currently under development, will support this collaboration. More information on the RITA PNT program is available at http://pnt.rita.dot.gov
