pacific nw transportation consortium region 10 Pactrans

Earlier this week, PacTrans convened an in-person board meeting on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, Washington. We regularly host board meetings in order to spend time discussing new developments, evaluate our processes, brainstorm new opportunities, and give updates on current activities. During this meeting the board discussed implementation of our new data management plan, the newly required technology transfer plan, USDOT’s new strategic directions, research management processes, and several other key items. Each consortium partner university gave updates on current and recently completed activities, and four UW PacTrans funded PIs gave updates on the progress of their ongoing research projects. Many great ideas were generated for ways we can continue to improve the way we foster and support research, workforce development, education, outreach, and technology transfer. The next in-person board meeting with include the PacTrans advisory board and will take place in Fairbanks, Alaska, in October, coinciding with the Region 10 Transportation Conference.
