About CR2C2

The Transportation Center for Regional and Rural Connected Communities (CR2C2) was initially funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation in 2023. CR2C2  is set to operate as the Region 4 University Transportation Center (UTC), tasked with tackling transportation hurdles in the southeastern United States, covering Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and Tennessee.  

CR2C2 Goals

The primary goal of CR2C2 is to plan, implement, and evaluate an integrated research, education, workforce development, and technology transfer approach. This aims to provide innovative connected and coordinated multimodal technological solutions for rural communities. Ultimately, this initiative will enable and enhance efficient and effective mobility services for the movement of people and goods, focusing primarily on rural areas.
