with over 57,000 students enrolled and campuses in New York City, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai. At the Tandon School of Engineering, the UrbanMITS, BUILT, biLAB, AI4CE, CUSP, and Urban Complexity labs are leading numer- ous research and education projects related to smart and connected cities. Researchers are partnering with related centers, including INTERCEP and the Rudin Center for Transportation, bringing together a wealth of expertise and resources for cutting-edge transportation research.
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is a public research institu-
tion in New Jersey with 70,000 students. Departments actively involved in transportation run several transportation-related centers, including the RIME laboratory, which brings unique expertise in structural health monitoring and advanced weigh-in-motion technologies in infrastructure applications to the consortium.
The University of Texas at El Paso is designated as a Model Institution for Excellence by the National Science Foundation, one of only six in the country. The university plays a strong leadership role in using educational programs to spur smart cities research, including a dual master’s degree program on smart cities with Czech Technical University and a U.S.-Mexico Study Abroad Program on Smart Cities with the University of Guadalajara. It also has a collaborative project with University of Guadalajara on smart cities funded by the National Science Foundation under the International Research Experence (IRES) program.
The University of Washington is a public research university based in Seat- tle. Founded in 1861, the UW is home to 29,000 undergraduates and 14,000 graduate students and has consistently ranked first in federal research funding among public universities, and among the top five for total funding among all universities in the country. UW is home to three transportation-fo- cused research labs: the Intelligent Urban Transportation (iUTS) Lab, the Smart Transportation Applications and Research (STAR) Lab, and the Sus- tainable Transportation Lab.
City College of New York is the founding institution of the City University of New York (CUNY) and has a strong tradition of public service through educa- tion, research, and workforce development. CUNY’s interdisciplinary Institute for Transportation Systems, based at CCNY, trains transportation planners, engineers and managers to plan, design, operate and manage transportation systems that protect the environment and energy resources and minimize social disruption.
