METRANS Associates Program

 

Drive the Future of Transportation

METRANS is driven by the support of individuals, public agencies, and private industry partners who are committed to solving transportation problems of large metropolitan regions. Your contribution empowers groundbreaking research addressing urban freight challenges, cost-effective emission reduction, innovations in mobility on topics as board as autonomous vehicles, effective transit, and congestion reduction, and data-driven transportation solutions. Your contribution also funds student support to train the next generation of leaders, seminars and newsletters that move research findings into practice, and policy dialogues that shape future mobility solutions.

Because of your support, METRANS has been a leader:

• Hosting the International Urban Freight conference, the largest research gathering devoted exclusively to urban freight.
• Innovating the study of urban freight, with decades of analyses of Southern California’s goods movement system, warehousing complex, and trucking industry.
• Pioneering new mathematical optimization techniques that increase the efficiency of goods movement.
• Quantifying the safety benefits of reducing the truck parking shortage.
• Researching topics that will improve the safety of the transportation system – from addressing truck parking shortages to increasing the efficiency of signalized intersections, and much more.

Your contribution means even more to us as federal funding cuts loom for higher education research in California. Your generosity in these uncertain times helps ensure that we remain steadfast in our work for the good of our global transportation community.
