The Urban Transportation Center at UIC is dedicated to conducting research and education and providing technical assistance on urban transportation planning, policy, operations and management. We specialize in three core clusters of transportation research: disadvantaged populations and human sustainability, Intelligent Transportation Systems, and public transportation, highways and freight planning, operations and management.
Our highly interdisciplinary center is composed of faculty, staff, and student researchers with expertise in Urban Planning, Civil Engineering, Business Administration, Economics, Public Administration and Computer Science.
Since 1979, UTC has worked with national, state, regional and local transportation agencies, non-profits, industry and other universities to address issues such as congestion and demand management, land-use and urban sprawl, transportation data and software, freight planning and forecasting and social equity in mobility and accessibility of all sectors of urban populations, to mention a few research topics.
