Analysis of the Implementation Status of Impact of Transit Research

The National Center for Transit Research (NCTR) domiciled at the Center for Urban Transportation Research at the University of South Florida, conducts applied and advanced research, working closely with metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), transit organizations, policy makers, departments of transportation, and other key stakeholders within the public transportation industry. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) recognizes NCTR's excellence in these areas and funds NCTR projects that benefit residents of Florida and also public transportation stakeholders across the country and around the globe. Both the Florida Department of Transportation's Research Center and NCTR recognize the criticality of ensuring the results derived from this research are reaching the intended customer and are having meaningful impacts on the transit industry, particularly in Florida. Additionally, both parties strive to apply the principles of continuous quality improvement with particular emphasis on satisfying customer need, maximizing customer value, and constantly adjusting and improving---through the customer's eyes---business methods. In this study, NCTR will assess the implementation status and identify the outcomes and impacts of the results of the 40 FDOT-sponsored NCTR research projects that concluded in fiscal years 2007--2010.
