WELCOME TO ITS-IRVINE
We’re an organized research unit, established to foster research, education, and engagement in the field of transportation.
The Institute seeks to stimulate interdisciplinary research on contemporary transportation issues. ITS-Irvine research typically involves dozens of faculty associates and over 50 graduate and undegraduate students from The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, the School of Social Sciences, the School of Social Ecology, the Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health, the Paul Merage School of Business, the School of Law, and the Bren School of Information and Computer Science. The Institute also hosts visiting scholars from the U.S. and abroad to facilitate cooperative research and information exchange, and sponsors seminars, conferences and colloquia to disseminate research results.
Groundbreaking research, student participation, specialty colloquia and more!
