The
Center for Transportation Analysis (CTA) in the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL) develops integrated inter-modal transportation solutions
through innovative and cost-effective research and development. CTA’s
activities encompass transportation energy and environmental concerns,
safety and security challenges, planning and policy issues, systems
engineering, military transportation, and transit visibility. Our research
and development have contributed to the efficient, safe and free movement
of people and goods in our Nation’s transportation systems.
For
the past two decades, CTA’s work has been funded by both the
public and private sectors. Our sponsors have included the U. S. Departments
of Energy, Transportation, and Defense; Federal Emergency Management
Agency; Environmental Protection Agency; Bureau of Census; National
Aeronautics and Space Administration; State Departments of Transportation;
local planning organizations; National Research Council; and General
Motors Corporation. Collaboration and partnerships with academia keep
CTA staff attuned to the state-of-the art research and development.
Staffed by 35 professional and administrative staff, CTA has an annual operating budget of more than $15 million. The Director of CTA is Patricia (Pat) S. Hu. Expertise of CTA staff is extensive and diverse, ranging from risk assessment, to policy analysis, to systems and software development, to military mobilization. Collectively, CTA staff serve on 30 national committees and expert panels.
