What is SPTC?
www.sptc.org
The SPTC is a U.S. Department ofTransportation Region 6 Regional UniversityTransportation Center. The Center wasestablished in 2013 based on an award from theU.S. Department of Transportation's Researchand Innovative Technology Administration(RITA) to conduct a multidisciplinary programof transportation research, education, andtechnology transfer.
