“As director of the Southwest Region University Transportation Center [SWUTC] for 25 years, it was my privilege to help advance the mission of the UTC Program,” says Senior Research Scientist Dock Burke, now retired from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI). “We mentored more than 1,300 college students and reached some 14,000 K–12 students with our outreach programs, and that was just with SWUTC — only one of the eight UTCs TTI has been a part of. Without the UTC Program, the transportation profession’s bench of expertise would be far poorer in its depth and breadth.”
