Research Areas

CUTR was established by the Florida Legislature, the Florida Board of Regents, and the University of South Florida in 1988 and has become recognized nationally and serves as an important resource for policymakers, transportation professionals, the education system, and the public. With emphasis on developing innovative, implementable solutions to transportation problems, CUTR provides high quality, objective transportation expertise in the form of technical support, policy analysis, and research support that translates directly into benefits for its project sponsors.

A significant factor in CUTR's success and a unique aspect of the Center is the responsiveness resulting from its faculty of full-time employees dedicated to conducting research. The multidisciplinary research staff includes experts in economics, engineering, planning, public policy, anthropology, business, and geography who develop comprehensive solutions for all modes of transportation while combining academic and "real world" experience.

CUTR conducts $8 million in research annually for a variety of public and private sector sponsors in Florida and the United States. Areas of research include public transportation, transportation planning, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), transportation demand management (TDM), transportation economics and finance, access management, and transportation safety, among others.
