CUTRIC | CRITUC FUNDING PROGRAM OBJECTIVE
To make Canada a global leader in public transit, transportation and integrated
mobility innovation by supporting industry-academic collaborations in alternative fuel
systems, signalling and controls, materials light-weighting, Big Data and analytics
solutions, and asset management strategies for next generation transportation
networks.
CUTRIC Collaborative RD&D Project Characteristics
CUTRIC collaborative innovation projects will integrate private companies
(manufacturers, start-ups, and small to mid-sized enterprises), transit operators, and
academic research teams to develop next generation Made-in-Canada technologies
for global transportation networks. Projects will be located across Canada,
concentrated initially in the country’s transportation manufacturing hubs in Ontario,
Quebec, Manitoba and British Columbia.
Collaborative innovation projects will range from a Technology Readiness (TRL)
Level 1 (primary research stage) to Level 6 (demonstration stage), and they will
relate to 5 research pillars identified by industry, transit, and academic stakeholders
throughout 2015 consultations across the country.
Pillar 1:
Zero- and low-emissions propulsion technologies and system
integration, including battery electric propulsion technologies, hydrogen fuel cell and
hydrogen combustion propulsion technologies, compressed and renewable natural gas
(CNG/RNG) propulsion technologies, and advanced low-emissions engine technologies that
provide demonstrable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions.
Pillar 2
Light-weight materials and processing technologies for light-weight
vehicles, including composite materials, polymers, advanced metals, and multi-material
designs.
Pillar 3
Autonomous and connected vehicular and infrastructure technologies
that support automation, autonomy and connectivity of vehicle systems on roads and
rail, including sensors, signaling, and control systems.
Pillar 4
“Big Data” and data-driven analytics solutions that support fleet and
network optimization for vehicles in mixed traffic, dedicated lanes, or specialized
communities.
Pillar 5
Cybersecurity technology solutions to support vehicular and infrastructure
securitization for electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, natural gas vehicles, and

autonomous vehicles given the susceptibility of these vehicle systems and their
charging/fueling supplies to new forms of malicious attack.
These themes were identified by private sector transportation and automotive industry
stakeholders as well as transit systems and researchers who engaged in a series of
structured consultation sessions held across Canada in 2015 – the results of which have
been published in a report to the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development
(ISED), entitled Automotive and Transportation Innovation Across Canada & Regional
Transportation Needs and Capacities as Targeted Research, Development & Demonstration
(RD&D) Projects.

CUTRIC | CRITUC Notification of Intent (Proposal)
General Instructions
This Notification of Intent (NOI) is not a formal or final application for CUTRIC
funding. Information contained herein can be revised by interested stakeholder(s)
prior to formal submission.
This NOI is used for information and planning purposes only. This document will help
CUTRIC staff determine the overall fit of a particular project proposal vis-à-vis
CUTRIC’s program funding objective outlined above. It will also help CUTRIC staff
determine the level of outreach, project development support, government relations
support, and proposal writing support required by stakeholders in a given project to
ensure the project’s eventual funding success (provincially and federally).
This NOI can be submitted by private industry stakeholders, public or private transit
operators and stakeholders, or public academic institutions (including universities,
colleges, cégeps, and technical colleges) in Canada or the United States.
The official “lead” of a project as identified in the NOI may be revised in the future
based on ideal funding options (provincially and federally).
