What Our Sponsors Say

"I have such a great respect for the Texas Transportation Institute. I think they are the finest research organization in the country for transportation." Hon. Robert C. Lanier
Former Mayor, Houston, Texas
Former Chair, Texas Transportation Commission
Former Chair, Metropolitan Transit Authority Board of Directors

"It is a fact, not an exaggeration, to assert that for decades TTI has had profound impacts on the development of our state and our nation. From the inception of the U.S. Interstate Highway System a half-century ago to the present day, the influence of its engineering graduates and its highway research projects have been of major importance in the continually evolving strategies that have made ours the finest, most extensive and safest road networks in the world. It is because of these contributions that TTI is universally accorded extraordinary respect by transportation professionals." Ray Barnhart
Former Administrator, Federal Highway Administration
Former Member, Texas Transportation Commission

"TTI offers its transportation sponsors top-level technical, economic, and practical expertise that provides objective answers to the difficult questions facing policy makers." Rollin Bredenberg
Vice President, Service Design and Performance,
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad

"Texas A&M and the Texas Transportation Institute have probably done more to advance the cause of transportation in the United States than any other single organization." Herb Kelleher
Co-founder, Past President and CEO, and Chairman of Southwest Airlines

"As a district engineer in the department, the assistance that I was able to get from TTI through the cooperative research program was invaluable to me. I was able to make decisions that were based on sound research." Arnold Oliver
Former Executive Director, Texas Department of Transportation

"Had it not been for the railroad monitor and quick actions by the communications personnel, this situation [near miss train-truck collision] could have been not only devastating but possibly fatal. The railroad monitor installed by TxDOT and TTI proved to be invaluable, and avoiding this incident more than paid for any expenses incurred in this project." David Spillman
Public Safety Communications Supervisor,
Sugar Land Police Department
