Technology Transfer

MATC will employ a variety of techniques for transferring research results and new education initiatives directly to practicing transportation professionals.

Individual Efforts: Individual efforts of the MATC faculty and researchers in the form of technical reports, peer-reviewed journal publications and professional presentations at technical conferences.

Conferences & Workshops: MATC will hold conferences and workshops related to improving safety and reducing risk on the surface transportation system. These conferences will be held throughout Region 7 in order to reach the greatest number of transportation professionals.

Graduate Hiring: Students graduating from MATC will be recruited into positions from which they will develop into leaders of the transportation profession and will be able to implement the changes necessary to make the transportation system safer.

MATC's goal in these three techniques is to ensure that there is no duplication of research and to provide a cooperative environment in which greater efficiency can be achieved.

MATC employs dynamic techniques which may be changed to meet our goals
