Public Transportation
The Public Transportation Group (PTG) of the Institute for Transportation Research and Education is responsible for research, training, and technical assistance in the area of public transportation. Activities focus on the following transportation modes:
- urban fixed-route and paratransit;
- rural demand-responsive transit;
- passenger rail;
- bicycle and pedestrian; and
- taxicab and livery.
PTG pursues practical applications that can have immediate benefits to increasing efficiencies in transit operations and positively impact service and transportation choices for the passenger.
The Group has achieved national stature as the only university research program focusing on the operations of transit systems and supports planning, policy and implementation of all public transportation modes, and has extensive experience in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) research. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Program within this group works closely with NC Department of Transportation with research and technical assistance projects.
