From traffic safety to big data and from preservation to education, the Institute for Transportation (InTrans) at Iowa State University focuses on research and service that impact transportation now and into the future. Since its inception in 1983 as a technical assistance program for Iowa’s rural transportation agencies, the Institute for Transportation has evolved into a $20-million-per-year hub for local, regional, and national transportation-focused research, education, and technology transfer. InTrans administers 15 centers and programs with several distinct yet affinitive research specialties and a variety of technology transfer and professional education initiatives. Our innovative research program (with nearly 300 projects underway) is supported by a variety of state and national organizations, including our primary sponsor—the Iowa Department of Transportation.
