The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is part of a team of surface transportation research organizations led by ENSCO, Inc., that was recently awarded a $571 million contract by the Federal Railroad Administration to provide research, testing, engineering and training services at the Transportation Technology Center.

The team will focus on initiatives that support the Federal Railroad Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation objectives to establish the Transportation Technology Center as a vibrant, engaging and modern center for railroad and ground transportation safety, security and innovation. Transfer of the center’s operations to the ENSCO team is anticipated to be completed by October 2022.
