--- Quote ---AUSTIN, Texas — The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded a five-year, multimillion dollar grant to the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin and its consortium partners to fund a transportation center that will aim to enhance mobility in megaregions, such as the Texas triangle between Dallas, San Antonio and Houston.

The School of Architecture will receive $1.4 million for the 2016-17 fiscal year, with subsequent awards through 2020. The grant is one of 32 that will be awarded to lead consortia under the DOT’s University Transportation Centers program.

The research will address critical transportation challenges in megaregion planning such as reducing congestion, increasing accessibility and extending the durability of transportation infrastructure.
