Transportation Research Center (The Center) is an automotive proving ground located on approximately 4,500 acres of land in East Liberty, Ohio, approximately 40 miles northwest of Columbus. Transportation Research Center Inc. (TRC Inc.) provides independent comprehensive research, development and testing services and facilities to manufacturers, industry organizations and government agencies worldwide. In 1962, the College of Engineering of The Ohio State University (Ohio State) established a transportation research center to coordinate and encourage transportation-related academic and research programs. The University envisioned a facility for controlled transportation research without using public roadways, with their attendant control and safety problems. This concept was developed as a cooperative effort with the Ohio Department of Highways to such a level that The Ohio State Board of Trustees approved a development plan in 1966 and acquired the necessary land in Union and Logan Counties
