Developing innovative ways to construct and preserve the transportation infrastructure

The Institute for Transportation develops innovative methods to construct and preserve America’s roads, bridges, and other all-important forms of infrastructure. InTrans researchers seek novel tools and methods to increase safety and reliability, enhance mobility, and lower life cycle costs. They work to improve asset management technologies, accelerate repairs, utilize improved materials, and ensure durability and performance. At the same time, InTrans personnel implement sound environmental and economic practices as they address infrastructure challenges.
