ITS Seminar Series

During the academic year, ITS sponsors seminars on a variety of current transportation research issues. Invited speakers include faculty members, professional researchers, visiting scholars and other guests from the U.S. and abroad. These interdisciplinary sessions provide an opportunity for lively intellectual debate and are an important adjunct to formal graduate study.
