About the Seminar Series
Every year, CTS offers a Seminar Series. The seminars are open to anyone interested in learning more about transportation research at the University of Minnesota. Undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and practitioners are encouraged to attend. There is no cost to attend, and registration is not required. Each seminar qualifies for one Professional Development Hour (PDH).
The CTS Seminar Series combines the following seminars:
- CTS Research Seminars, held as part of CTS research council meetings
- Advanced Transportation Technologies Seminars, sponsored by the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Institute each fall semester
Webcast
Seminars also will be broadcast live on the Web and available for later viewing. See the Webinar viewing instructions for more information.
