Organized byTransportation Research Board - The Topic of the 7th Annual 2012 UTC Spotlight Conference will be Sustainable Energy & Transportation. This topic speaks to one of the leading challenges facing the nation, and also addresses one of USDOT's strategic goals, with a particular emphasis on improved energy efficiency, reduced dependence on fossil fuels, and identification of effective strategies to promote these goals. As the U.S. moves toward a performance-based transportation bill, energy-focused environmental sustainability is expected to become one of the pillars against which success is measured if it is to become a national priority. The conference will bring together representatives of federal, state and local agencies, and universities in transportation. The purpose of the conference is to promote synergies among these diverse groups in order to understand and address the unique issues involved with sustainable energy in the transportation sector, to spotlight recently completed and ongoing research in this area by University Transportation Centers and others, and to identify existing knowledge gaps in current research and related activities.
