The Program provided assistance to students for projects in both academic and public policy arenas as a way to educate and motivate those who are interested in transportation technology and planning. Funded through the UPWP, the September 11th Memorial Program for Regional Transportation Planning is managed through a partnership with the University Transportation Research Center (UTRC).

The September 11th Memorial Program was announced on November 18, 2004, during ceremonies to commemorate the return of NYMTC’s headquarters to lower Manhattan.
