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.
