Research
Research focuses on issues that transit users and providers for small urban and rural communities currently face as well as future challenges. The program has two major thrusts: 1) Soft-sided research to address management and institutional issues faced by transit client groups; and 2) Technical and operating issues with a special emphasis in the Intelligent Transportation Systems arena.
