WELCOMEWelcome to the 30th Annual University Transportation Centers (UTC) Program’s Outstanding Studentof the Year Awards ceremony, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) andadministered by the Offce of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R).Each year, at the annual awards banquet of the Council of University Transportation Centers, theU.S. DOT honors outstanding students from participating UTCs for their achievements and promisefor future contributions to the transportation feld. Students of the Year are selected based on theiraccomplishments in such areas as technical merit and research, academic performance, professionalism,and leadership. This booklet provides an insightful overview of their accomplishments and goals.OST-R administers the UTC Program with funding from the Federal Highway Administration.iii
University Transportation Centers ProgramDuring the past few years, the U.S. DOT has launched several new initiatives designed to settransportation in motion toward a more connected, accessible, and sustainable future. Under themanagement of the U.S. DOT’s Offce of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R),the University Transportation Centers (UTC) Program continues to bolster those efforts throughadvancing research on topics such as connected vehicles, pedestrian and cyclist safety, freightperformance measures, and emissions reduction technologies.Since its beginning, the mission of the UTC Program has focused on the development of advanced U.S.technology and expertise in transportation through education, research, and technology transfer atuniversities nationwide. The UTC Program was created by Section 314 of the Surface Transportation andUniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, 49 U.S.C. §5317, with the primary purpose ofconducting research.The Intermodal Surface Transportation Equity Act (ISTEA) of 1991 reauthorized the UTC Programthrough fscal year (FY) 1997, and expanded its mission to include education and technology transfer. Inaddition to the 10 Regional Centers, ISTEA created three “National” Centers and six University ResearchInstitutes at universities named in ISTEA. This expansion led the U.S. DOT to adopt a strategic planningapproach to program management based on a mission and set of goals that applied to all 13 centers andsix institutes. The U.S. DOT extended the grants to the Regional Centers for three years, and announcedits intention to reopen the program to competition, which occurred in 1994.In 1998, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) reauthorized the UTC Program foran additional six years and increased the total number of centers from the original 10 to 33.In 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Effcient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users(SAFETEA-LU) increased the number of centers to 60. In addition to the 10 Regional Centers, 10 Tier 1funded centers were also competitively selected, and with the exception of the Title III centers, all ofthe UTCs were required to provide a one-for-one funding match.The Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2011 (the Extension Act), gave discretion to redistribute thefunds allocated to specifc research projects and programs designated in SAFETEA-LU. In accordancewith the Extension Act, the U.S. DOT competitively awarded grants to 22 UTCs in the amount ofapproximately 3.5 million each to 10 Tier 1 UTCs, two Tier 1 Transit-Focused UTCs, and 10 RegionalUTCs, and FY 2012 funds were added following extension legislation.1
In 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) continued the UTCprogram, authorizing the competitive selection of 35 UTCs to receive a total of 72.5 million infunding for each of FYs 2013 to 2014, with continued funding from extension acts through FY 2015.Following a competition in 2013, grants of approximately 3 million each were awarded to fveNational UTCs, 2.75 million each to 10 Regional UTCs, and 1.5 million each to 20 Tier 1 UTCs.Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, signed in December 2015, was the frst federallaw in over a decade to provide long-term funding for surface transportation infrastructure planningand investment. The FAST Act authorized 305 billion in spending from FYs 2016 through 2020for the maintenance of existing and establishment of new initiatives in research, education andworkforce development, and the facilitation of technology transfer. To fulfll the FAST Act federalmandate, U.S. DOT hosted a grant competition that resulted in the announcement of 32 new UTCsin December 2016. UTCs in Federal Regions 1, 2, and 3 were added in 2018, and two new NationalCenters focusing on congestion and infrastructure research were added in 2019.The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, authorized 5M in funding to establish fournew Tier 1 UTCs with each conducting research in one of the following topic areas:1. Highly Automated Transportation Systems Research2. Communications Technology and E-Commerce Effects on Travel Demand3. Implications of Accessible Automated Vehicles and Mobility Services for Peoplewith Disabilities4. Strategic Implications of Changing Public Transportation Travel TrendsFor more information visit: transportation-centers2

Trip-making strategies are explored across land uses, including use of onlineor smartphone-based services to coordinate grocery pickup or delivery. The adoption ofsuch services is likely uneven across demographic groups, given barriers to technologyor differential access to grocery stores. The fndings of this research are critical forfuture emergency planning efforts, and will inform the extent to which changed travelbehavior strategies in response to the pandemic will remain in the recovery period andbeyond.6

Rachel SeigelBioRachel Siegel is deeply interested in the growing problem of increasingly frequentextreme precipitation events in the northeast U.S. In order to acquire the training andcredentials to prepare her technically for work in this area, she entered the master’sdegree program in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Vermontin June 2019 after working in the feld.Degree and Graduation Date (or Anticipated Date)M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Vermont,May 2021B.S. in Environmental Studies from the University of Vermont, May 2016University of VermontTransportation Infrastructure DurabilityCenter (TDIC) led by the University ofMainerseigel@uvm.eduPreferred Career after GraduationRachel wants to work on food modeling or observation, performing risk analysis forareas under threat of food events.Broad Research Interest AreaTransportation planning; infrastructure systemsSpecifc Research AreaModeling bridge-stream network interactions under transient conditions, andevaluating these interactions to frame bridge risk assessments and food mitigationPrimary Mode(s)MultimodalTop Accomplishment in 2020Rachel completed all simulations for the Mad River HEC-RAS model.Thesis Title and Summary“Bridge-Stream Network Analysis across Multiple Sites to Identify Sensitive Structuraland Hydraulic Parameters for Flood Risk Assessment and Floodplain Reconnection”The northeastern United States is experiencing more frequent and extremeprecipitation events of longer duration. Infrastructure must now be able to withstandmore frequent major food events. Satisfying the rigorous hydraulic demands ofthese foods on all bridges and structures is infeasible, so prioritizing resourcesto minimize food damage is critical. This thesis attempts to quantify the dynamicinteractions between a river and its surrounding infrastructure (particularly bridges)under highly uncertain, transient conditions. The purpose is to help assess a numberof food mitigation strategies, such as widening bridges, lowering approaches, andadding culverts. The analysis uses two-dimensional HEC-RAS models, developed forthree Vermont river corridors with varying features. Multiple model simulations areperformed over 25- to 500-year food events. The analysis results are compared andcontrasted across the three study sites to develop a framework for assessing foodmitigation of a bridge-stream network.12

The parameters for the energy model weredeveloped after an extensive literature review. Using publicly available data sources,the model was applied to simulate intermodal trains along the southern BNSFTransCon rail corridor between Los Angeles and Chicago. An economic model basedon the simulation results shows freight rail electrifcation can bring signifcant returnson investment to private companies and produce large public benefts. Uncertaintyin some of the parameters means there is a chance for the investment to performpoorly; however, this risk can be mitigated by public policies. Public subsidies forcapital, electricity, or tax credits might incentivize electrifcation while increasing netsocial benefts.13
