CTS Faculty & Research Scholars
CTS Faculty and Research Scholars are leading researchers and educators at the University of Minnesota, drawn from diverse fields including engineering, planning, computer science, environmental studies, and public policy. They work closely with CTS to identify new research opportunities and develop new initiatives for transportation education.
The program also provides an ongoing forum for researchers to meet with CTS staff to provide feedback, discuss interdisciplinary education opportunities, develop educational initiatives, and respond to emerging trends in transportation-related disciplines.
Scholars are selected because of the transportation focus in their research and teaching, their ongoing involvement with CTS, and their successful relationships with transportation research sponsors.
