OVERVIEW:

The UNOTC specializes in various aspects of freight and passenger transportation planning and policy.  The UNOTC is an umbrella organization for the National Ports and Waters Institute (NPWI), the Mississippi River Corridor Initiative (MRCI), the Transportation Equity and Evacuation Planning Program, and the Smart Growth and Multimodal Transportation Program.  The UNOTC shares a Tier II Federal University Transporation Center designation with LSU's Louisiana Transportation Research Center. UNOTC projects encompass a variety of scales, including projects focused on New Orleans, across Louisiana and the Gulf Coast, nationally, and globally.  UNOTC personnel are particularly well-suited to serve the transportation research needs of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in the post-Katrina recovery.  The UNOTC works closely with the School of Urban Planning and Regional Studies (SUPRS) and the Center for Urban and Public Affairs (CUPA) at UNO.  The UNOTC provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to engage in applied research.
