The Connecticut Cooperative Transportation Research Program (CCTRP) has been a continuing joint venture of the University of Connecticut and the Connecticut Department of Transportation since 1962.
Over the years this program has responded to the evolving complexity of Connecticut's transportation issues by utilizing the vast array of multi-disciplinary research resources available through the faculty and laboratories of the University of Connecticut. CCTRP research projects address such issues as air quality and the environment, public transit, intelligent vehicle highway systems, transportation planning, GIS, highway safety, bridges, transportation administration and management, and construction and materials.
The Joint Highway Research Advisory Council (JHRAC) serves as the Program’s administrative body. The eight-member JHRAC, which includes four members designated by the Commissioner of Transportation and four by the Provost of the University of Connecticut, sets the policies governing the Connecticut Cooperative Transportation Research Program and approves the projects to be undertaken.
