TRB Travel Awards

As a part of an effort to support students in transportation, CTS and the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Institute provide funding for selected students to attend the national Transportation Research Board (TRB) annual meeting in Washington, D.C. held in January of each year.

Students selected will each receive up to $1,000 for conference expenses, including travel. Upon completion of the conference, students are required to submit brief summaries of sessions they attended.

Faculty will nominate students based upon the following criteria: transportation-related degrees/course work and internships completed, transportation research conducted, and transportation-related papers presented and/or published.
