The USDOT's Region 5 University Transportation Center focused on transportation that is safe, secure, and equitable.
About us
With a $2.4M grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the University of Michigan, along with its partners, has created the Center for Connected and Automated Transportation (CCAT). CCAT aims to advance research in the field of transportation safety, mobility, and sustainability via connected vehicles, connected infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles. Located at the focal point of the U.S. auto industry, CCAT will play a unique regional role in promoting connected and automated transportation research, education, workforce development, and technology transfer activities, which are of critical importance to the future of the region’s economy. The CCAT team’s extensive and substantive collaborations with stakeholders such as the region’s state DOTs, local governments, and the CAV industry will ensure that our research translates to practical outcomes through prototypes, field tests, technology transfer, implementation, and policies. U-M’s partners include the University of Akron, Central State University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Minnesota Twin-Cities, Northwestern University, Purdue University, Washtenaw Community College, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Happy 60th Anniversary to Washtenaw Community College (WCC), the only community college in the CCAT consortium. WCC provides one-of-a-kind educational opportunities to students interested in exploring all aspects of connected and automated transportation through its Advanced Transportation Center (ATC). Learn more about the Advanced Transportation Center: https://lnkd.in/gSPpMFHs
🎊 HAPPY 60th ANNIVERSARY TO US! 🥂 The founding of Washtenaw Community College officially took place January 15, 1965. On that cold, snowy winter day, Washtenaw County residents trudged to the polls and voted overwhelmingly to establish the two-year college and elect its first Board of Trustees. The vote was a 2-to-1 margin in favor that truly reflected the community’s support for this new type of college in a county long dominated by big, traditional four-year universities. In so many ways, the founding of WCC then is what guides WCC today. Early studies in the late 1950s and early 1960s showed that county educators and employers recognized the need to create and sustain a workforce with strong technical skills. Forward-thinking community leaders understood that need and worked tirelessly to move the process from concept to college. As the years have passed, WCC has continued to meet business and industry needs for an even more highly skilled workforce. Few back then could have imagined the pace of change in technology witnessed in the last decades of the 20th century and first decade and a half of the 21st century.
