We are the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) at The University of Texas at Austin. Our mission: collaborate, innovate, and educate. A multidisciplinary and multimodal research institute, CTR is recognized as one of the leading university-based transportation research centers in the world.

Expertise and funded projects include topics such as economics, multimodal systems, traffic congestion relief, transportation policy, freight and rail, materials, bridges and structures, public transit, environmental impacts, driver behavior, and accessibility. In a given year, CTR administers between 150 and 200 research projects and interagency contracts with combined budgets exceeding $12 million.
