TTI Maintained Websites

Center for Transportation Safety
The Center for Transportation Safety was established to focus on health and safety issues associated with transportation. Work performed through the center will be closely coordinated with safety-related work being pursued by other agencies, such as the Texas Department of Transportation.
Criteria and Design for a Model Border Crossing
A project is underway to develop a prototype border facility that incorporates federal and state agency inspections and other activities in "one-stop" for commercial vehicles entering Texas at the Mexican border. A team from the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) at the University of Texas at Austin and TTI at Texas A&M University are working jointly on the effort along with border issue experts from universities located near the Texas-Mexico border.
DOLPHIN
DOLPHIN is a web portal for marine transportation issues brought to you by TTI's Center for Ports and Waterways (CPW) and Sea Grant Texas. The site contains information, links, statistics, and more.
Drive Clean Across Texas
Drive Clean Across Texas is the nation's first statewide public outreach and education campaign designed to raise awareness and change attitudes about air pollution. Ultimately Drive Clean Across Texas' goal is to inspire changes in driving behavior that will help clean up the air in Texas.
Houston TranStar
In Houston, the burden of traffic jams is eased by a real-time traffic condition map developed with the assistance of TTI researchers. Information of freeway speeds and travel times is gathered at TranStar (the area's traffic management center) and passed on to motorists via radio reports, changeable message signs and the Internet. The real-time traffic information helps Houston drivers save time by selecting alternate routes or adjusting departure times.
Managed Lanes
This site highlights ongoing research that TTI is conducting for TxDOT on managed lanes, provides key research results and access to related products, has information on meetings and other events related to managed lanes across the country, and has links to key related Internet sites.
Mobility Study
The annual traffic congestion study is an effort to monitor roadway congestion in major urban areas in the United States. The comparisons to other areas and to previous experiences in each area are facilitated by a database that begins in 1982 and includes 70 urbanized areas.
National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse
In February 1998, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association joined forces with the Federal Highway Administration to improve safety in highway work zones by creating the National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse. The purpose of the Clearinghouse is to provide information and referrals to government agencies, public and private organizations, and the general public concerning the safe and effective operation of traffic work zones.
One Stop Transit
This website is being developed under Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Research Project Research Project 0-4233: Coordination of Transit Services in Texas. Its purpose is to facilitate communication between and among the project research staff, TxDOT staff, the project monitoring committee, and the stakeholders in the three case study areas.
Pecos Research & Testing Center (RTC)
The Pecos RTC is the ideal location for a broad range of academic and applied research testing. The 5,800-acre complex located in Pecos, Texas, features nine distinct test tracks, a full range of support facilities and available acreage for projects requiring either open land or custom facilities.
Regional Service Planning
The Regional Service Planning website is sponsored by the Texas Department of Transportation to aid 24 regions across Texas coordinate regional public transportation service across metropolitan, suburban, and rural areas. Participants may use the website to find published planning resources, announce meetings, request expert assistance, and join an e-mail list. This website also serves the Regional Planning and Public Transportation Study Group that was established by the Texas Transportation Commission.
Southwest Region University Transportation Center
The Southwest Region University Transportation Center (SWUTC) was established at the Texas A&M University System in October 1988. The SWUTC is comprised of a consortium of three universities within Region 6: The Texas A&M University System (Texas Transportation Institute), The University of Texas at Austin (Center for Transportation Research), and Texas Southern University (Center for Transportation Training and Research)
Teens in the Driver Seat
Every day teens die in traffic crashes for many reasons. This site was created by teens to let other teens know about the dangers of driving and how they can avoid them.
Texas Ports Association
The mission of the Texas Ports Association is to advance the development of Texas ports, enabling them to compete with ports outside Texas and thereby strengthen the economy of Texas.
Texas Summer Transportation Institute
The Texas Summer Transportation Institute (TSTI) sparks the fire of curiosity in the minds of the best and brightest high school students in the state. We make transportation interesting and exciting to young people through interactive experiences and by demonstrating the real impact it has on our everyday lives. TSTI has developed and presented summer programs since 1999.
Traffic Control Devices
This site provides summaries of current and previous research performed by TTI’s Transportation Operations Group (TOG) related to traffic control devices. Through this site, you can find information on specific research performed by TOG researchers in the areas of traffic signing, pavement markings, traffic signals, and work zones.
Transportation Pooled Fund Program
The Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) Program allows federal, state, and local agencies and other organizations to combine resources to support transportation research studies.
Travel Model Improvement Program
The Travel Model Improvement Program is a project of the Urban Analysis Program in TTI's Systems Planning Division. It is sponsored by the U.S Department of Transportation (Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and the Office of the Secretary), and the Environmental Protection Agency.
TRB Committee on Library and Information Science for Transportation (LIST)
This committee serves as a forum for transportation librarians and the transportation research community on developments in information science and their applicability to transportation. The committee facilitates diffusion of national library and information science innovations throughout the transportation community by monitoring the use of new resources and tools in the transportation arena, defining critical research and training issues relating to their implementation, and promoting the benefits of these capabilities.
University Transportation Center for Mobility (UTCM)
The University Transportation Center for Mobility was designated as one of approximately 60 University Transportation Centers (UTCs) in the nation, and it facilitates mobility enhancement through competitive funding of programs in research, education, and technology transfer.
