The UVM Transportation Research Center (TRC) brings together graduate students from colleges across the university to study and research different aspects of the transportation system. The TRC also directs and funds interdisciplinary research projects, graduate student research assistantships and transportation courses.
For upcoming courses in transportation studies, go to Fall 2009 Graduate and Undergraduate Transportation Courses.
Graduate student research assistantships are available to full-time UVM graduate students from graduate program within any of UVM's colleges or schools who work on transportation research related to the Center's theme. Find out more...
Research into sustainable transportation combines many disciplines and perspectives. Graduate students in Social Sciences may collect travel survey data, coordinate focus groups, and conduct field studies of human behavior. Engineering students model travel demand, optimize the transportation network system and perform both lab and field experiments on tailpipe emissions. Economic students may delve into transportation financing issues and students in Community Development and Applied Economics may examine transportation impacts on our communities. All TRC graduate students conduct research that addresses critical issues in transportation and solutions for the 21st century.
