How can we keep roadway pollutants out of our lakes and rivers? How did the pandemic affect telecommuting? These are just two of the issues studied by University of Minnesota transportation researchers in FY22. The 2022 Impacts Report from the Center for Transportation Studies shares highlights.
CTS identifies core transportation issues, convenes diverse groups of stakeholders, and helps inform policy and decision-making. In 123 leading-edge projects, U researchers shed light on nearly 100 critical topics: pavement mixes, bike lanes, rural intersections, and much more.
As part of the U’s land-grant mission, CTS also offers engagement and education programs. In FY22, nearly 1,200 participants attended CTS events, and 3,178 transportation professionals gained skills through customized training and technical assistance programs such as Minnesota LTAP.
