| " Moving
from the Margins to the Mainstream: Using the Federal
Transportation Law to Meet the Mobility Needs of Your Community," Science and Technology Park, Albuquerque,
New Mexico, 2006 – An initiative of the Surface Transportation Policy Project
and its Coalition Partners to help community and state leaders use
federal surface transportation law, including recent changes under the
SAFETEA-LU law, to expand transit, increase pedestrian and bicycle
travel, improve safety of all system users, and channel transportation
investments to achieve community objectives. This workshop is one
of six workshops that are a part of a broader program to support
transportation reform efforts in local areas and states throughout the
United States. The final report is available on the Surface Transportation Policy
Partnership Website. |

The ATR
Institute (ATRI) celebrates its 15th anniversary as a nationally
recognized research entity at The University of New Mexico. The ATRI
has a history of dedicated service to agencies of local, state, tribal,
and federal governments, private organizations, and people in
underserved communities. During our decade of existence, the Institute
has become an acknowledged leader in the field of transportation
research.
Today, we
continue to expand our expertise into new and challenging endeavors.
Using an interdisciplinary approach, the ATRI is making profound
contributions to transportation policy in the areas of smart growth,
public transportation, research and planning, environmental impacts,
intermodal transportation, rural transit, and public policy
research.
The ATR
Institute is engaged in progressive, cutting-edge research initiatives
that will serve to boldly define the future of transportation. Some of
these include:
-
The
development and implementation in New Mexico of transit management
software which uses rural intelligent transportation systems and
interfaces with smart card technology in transit vehicles;
-
The
coordination of interagency transportation in support of
welfare-to-work programs, access to jobs, the delivery of healthcare
and other life services, and other research regarding problems of rural
and urban mobility; and
-
The
provision of innovative public outreach to stakeholders with
information and materials they need about specific, complex issues,
such as the transport of radioactive wastes, as well as more general
environmental impacts that transportation of goods and people have upon
the quality of air, water, habitat, and land-use.
