Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis

Information about the Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS).

Since the Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS) was founded in 1991, it has evolved into a multifaceted program with more than 60 affiliated faculty members and 80 graduate students. Its primary program components are research, education, and outreach. Institute researchers are known for their expertise in travel behavior and transport systems modeling, environmental vehicle technologies, climate change, air quality, and other environmental impacts of transportation.

ITS partners with academic and research centers on and off UC Davis campus, as well as with industry, government, and nongovernmental organizations around the world. These partnerships ensure that ITS-Davis retains a broad-based, holistic, and independent perspective on sometimes contentious transportation policy and quality of life decisions. These partnerships, together with funding from private industry, government, foundations, individuals, and a variety of distinguished academic and research institutions, have helped ITS-Davis develop its increasingly prestigious and accomplished program.
