Reporting
The reporting requirements, and applicable rules and guideline for University Transportation Centers (UTCs) are outlined in “Grant Deliverables and Reporting” and “Grant Provisions” and all funded PIs are required to familiarize themselves with these documents. All investigators receiving research funding from PacTrans must also adhere to the “USDOT Public Access Plan.” To learn more about several important aspects of public access see our Public Access page. The following graphic summarizes those requirements.
