The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has been awarded up to $5,000,000 to establish the National University Rail Center of Excellence (NURail CoE).
The new facility will replace the Center's six existing buildings and surface parking lots with a highly energy-efficient, climate-resilient structure that will house multiple agencies.
Appointees to the Advisory Committee are drawn from academia, the private sector, and the transportation industry.
The FTA is encouraging TOD in areas where communities are trying to preserve, protect, and increase the supply of affordable housing.
The SMART Grants Program was made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed by President Biden on November 15, 2021.
The funding will support local planning and investment near transit hubs to promote sustainable, livable, and equitable communities.
The Center will serve as a central resource for innovative practices and will bring project managers together to enable knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer learning.
The funding is provided through FTA’s Public Transportation Emergency Relief (ER) Program.
FTA’s Areas of Persistent Poverty (AoPP) program provides support to state and local governments, transit agencies, and nonprofit organizations to create better transit for residents with limited or no transportation options.
