TTI Council members aboard the M/V Sam Houston

The TTI Council meets annually to discuss issues relating to transportation research.

TTI Council

Throughout its more that 50 years of operation, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) has always had some form of an advisory council. The size, composition and role of the Council has been altered on several occasions to more effectively meet the changing needs of the Institute.

The council is comprised of distinguished, high-level transportation professionals from across the state. This is certainly one of the most influential groups of transportation leaders and professionals to commit to advising a university-affiliated transportation research center.
