It has been an immense pleasure for our CTS team to celebrate 40 years of work, partnership, and impact throughout 2026. 

As you will see in this annual impacts report, we have continued to carry out the mission and vision established by our organization in 1986. The work reflected here shares direct ties to the people, efforts, and achievements that have made CTS a vital leader in transportation across Minnesota and beyond.
