Our Mission

The Technology Transfer Program bridges research and transportation practice to facilitate and support the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of efficient and effective state-of-the-art transportation systems.

Our Vision

The Technology Transfer Program will be a major international center for advanced professional education and technology sharing in transportation engineering and planning. Public and private agencies will turn to the program for professional exchanges; information regarding innovations, research results, and best practices; training and professional development; and technical assistance on the application of innovative transportation technologies. In California, the program will be the hub of such activity and play a visible and critical role in the successful creation and deployment of a twenty-first century transportation system that is efficient, safe, sustainable, integrated, multi-modal and improves the quality of life for all citizens of the state.
