The strategic vision for the UTMSC is one of a research, development and training facility that will be used by students, State and city engineers and planners, emergency and security agencies within the New York Metropolitan Area, trucking companies and freight forwarders, Federal, state and local public agencies, consultants, and other participating colleges and universities, with different users given various levels of authorization. In this vision of the UTMSC, sustaining project sponsors and investors will foster the development and maintenance of a Universal Data Warehouse from which would emanate the development of various transportation management and impact models, algorithms, studies and education and training modules.
