ATR
Institute History
and Vision
The ATR
Institute is guided by the basic tenet that transportation research
should promote a national and statewide investment in sustainable
intermodal transportation systems that move people and goods. The ATR
Institute adopts the policies described in the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act and builds its emphasis areas to
encompass a holistic approach to transportation research. It is
essential that transportation researchers, planners, and administrators
realize the social, economic, equity, and environmental implications of
building and maintaining a transportation infrastructure for the long
term. Whether the emphasis is materials research, policy analysis, data
quality, or information systems, the research services provided by the
ATR Institute look for the balance between science and innovation,
economics and equity, and environment and technologic advances.
