PacTrans consortium universities are dedicated in our commitment to invest in innovative mobility and safety research to address transportation issues in the Pacific Northwest. Our consortium combines unequaled data sources, unique and diverse labs and simulators, world-class researchers, cutting edge technology, and steadfast partners, to create a hotbed of ground breaking research and a robust project portfolio. The PacTrans portfolio is composed of projects of small, medium, and large scopes. The small projects are designed to help foster pilot research on new but promising concepts and ideas. The medium and large sized projects are designed to address research issues of regional importance and require two or more institutes to collaborate on the final product. Research proposals are subject to a peer review process that is overseen by the PacTrans Board of Directors. The proposals are evaluated to determine technical merit, alignment with regional priorities, capabilities and resources of the research team, and project scope. Upon completion of the research a draft technical report is submitted to PacTrans and is subject to a peer review prior to publication of the final report. Research Projects To date, PacTrans has funded: Year 1 (2012-2013): 22 research projects Year 2 (2013-2014): 31 research projects Year 3 (2014-2015): 16 research projects Year 4 (2015-2016): 20 research projects Year 5 (2016-2017): 23 research projects 14 Pacific Northwest Transportation Consortium
