Semi-Annual Program Progress Performance Report For University Transportation Systems

The Electric Vehicle Transportation Center\u27s (EVTC) vision is to transform the country\u27s transportation network into a fully integrated smart electric vehicle deployment system coupled with a smart electric grid achieved with maximum efficiency and minimum time and disruption. To accomplish the EVTC vision, the Center\u27s goals are to serve as the focal point for the U.S. Department of Transportation\u27s strategic goal of planning for near-term integration of alternative fuel vehicles as a means to build a sustainable transportation system. The project will evaluate technologies, standards and policies to ensure seamless integration of EVs into a complex electricity grid and transportation network. The EVTC will bridge the gap between deployment of electric vehicles and the traditional transportation system
