The name feels incorrect. The transport layer protocol in use is UDP. QUIC is built on top of UDP. If QUIC is to UDP as HTTP is to TCP then QUIC is an application layer protocol.

In the real world layering isn't that strict. QUIC performs similar functions as TCP so it's also a transport protocol.
