We are the lead campus of the National Institute for Transportation and Communities (NITC) — one of seven national University Transportation Centers (UTC's) funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation. We pursue our theme, improving mobility of people and goods to build strong communities, through research, education and technology transfer in conjunction with our partner universities: University of Oregon, Oregon Institute of Technology, University of Utah and new partners University of Arizona and University of Texas at Arlington.

We release new research monthly in our NITC newsletter, and offer monthly NITC webinars that deep dive into one of the latest projects. Established in 2009, we have hosted an annual gathering with our partners to connect practitioners and researchers with NITC research at the Transportation and Communities Summit.
