We are excited to announce the research projects NEUTC has selected to move forward with in Year 3. These projects represent innovative, high-impact work aimed at advancing transportation safety and addressing critical challenges across the field.
UMass Amherst Ph.D. candidate, Angelina Caggiano, has been named a 2026 CUTC Student of the Year in recognition of her research, leadership, and service to the transportation profession.
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us this year at the Norwich Leadership Summit & 2nd Annual NEUTC Symposium. With more than 50+ in attendance, the group this year spent a lovely 2 days in Northfield, VT at Norwich University.
In May, NEUTC hosted Peter Koonce at UMass Amherst’s Mt. Ida Campus for his lecture, Saved by a Traffic Engineer. Here he discussed the challenges of applying a safe systems approach under the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), shared recent updates to the industry, and offered insights into future direction and best practices.
In March, NEUTC helped host a Cyber Informed Engineering Workshop, discussing important issues involving cyber threats on transportation systems. The event was a huge success with 40 attendees.
NEUTC congratulates Dr. Bryan Reimer on his appointment to the FAA’s HF Task Force ARC, recognizing his leadership in transportation safety and human-technology interaction.
NEUTC held a two-day Connecting Communities Workshop, fostering important conversations about the importance of applying a community-centered approach to public outreach and engagement for transportation research. The workshop had visitors from MassDOT and real projects to create community centered plans.
