The KU Transportation Research Institute (KU TRI) is building upon the strengths of KU research by pursuing a wide spectrum of emerging transportation issues and fostering relationships with external partners. Also, the Institute encourages its affiliated faculty to consider collaborative research opportunities with domestic and international agencies and businesses. To pursue this initiative, the Institute built a network of talented faculty and students who are taking part in a multidisciplinary program that spans the KU campus. Furthermore, KU TRI works with a broad spectrum of partners to solve real-world transportation issues by helping states, communities, and businesses.
