The Center for Transportation Research philosophy emphasizes that research results should be quickly and effectively transmitted into practice. Through a variety of techniques, including seminars, workshops, and short courses, we provide training and distribute information to transportation personnel in local, state, and federal agencies, as well as to those in private industry. Below are several Center programs which are accomplishing our practice goals.
