The Austin Office of TTI enhances the Institute’s service to state and local sponsors by conducting independent and collaborative research, facilitating technology transfer, providing direct support and liaison to the Texas Department of Transportation, and promoting the benefits of transportation research in Central Texas. The Austin Office provides TTI with a physical presence in the capital city—an office close to our largest sponsor, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), and the Texas Legislature. This office acts as a conduit for communication between TTI and TxDOT, as well as a “home port” for our researchers from other offices when they come into town for meetings.
