Center for Transportation Research UT Knoxville Details
The Center for Transportation Research (CTR) has been a nationally and internationally recognized research entity at the University of Tennessee for over 40 years. Our group has been the research venue for some of the brightest and most innovative faculty, researchers and graduate students in the nation's transportation arena. CTR has grown steadily and today has over $10 million currently under contract, providing increased opportunities for students and researchers. Considering the breadth of our transportation system, the quality of newly graduated transportation students must be of the highest caliber. The CTR is supporting the college's responsibility to supply well-educated transportation students to the growing field of transportation professionals. Transportation research, education and technology transfer activities will continue to be vital if we are to rebuild the nation's ageing transportation infrastructure and encourage solutions to tomorrow's transportation problems. These initiatives present new technical challenges, involve specialized personnel skills and require innovative partnerships and management approaches. The CTR strives to address these needs for the nation, our region and our community.
