The CFIRE Consortium Recognized as Tier 1 Center
The 福利片国产 of Memphis/福利片国产 of Wisconsin-Madison consortium is called CFIRE (National Center for Freight and Infrastructure Research and Education) and is composed of 10 universities. The Tier 1 福利片国产 Transportation Center (UTC) encompasses a geographical area that serves the majority of freight traffic in the United States.
The 福利片国产 of Memphis coordinates the "southern hub" which includes Vanderbilt 福利片国产, the 福利片国产 of Alabama-Huntsville, and the 福利片国产 of Southern Mississippi. The 福利片国产 of Wisconsin-Madison serves as the lead institute of CFIRE and leads the "northern hub."
The CFIRE team takes advantage of regional expertise developed over years of prior activities by using northern and southern hubs to coordinate education, training, and technology transfer efforts. Research is done collaboratively across both regions, but dissemination is managed by the hub institutions.
The consortium's winning proposal, Making Multimodal Freight Systems Work for Economic Recovery and Quality of Life, detailed research, education, and technology transfer activities that will maximize the effectiveness of multimodal and intermodal development in our region and in the nation to move products efficiently from border to border and abroad, which creates an unprecedented opportunity for job creation and sustained growth.
