The NTRC was created to respond to the needs of industry and government
agencies as they address issues related to expanding and maintaining
transportation systems that move people and goods safely, efficiently,
and reliably. About 160 researchers and supporting staff from The
University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory work at
the NTRC. These researchers represent a unique set of research capabilities
that deal with almost every aspect of the transportation industry.
The NTRC is also home to NTRCI,
a not-for-profit organization that provides coordination and project
management for complex collaborative projects, and facilitates technology
deployment.
