TechPlan Program: Transportation Planning and Policy Applications of ITS-Related Technologies

Program Overview

The Humphrey Institute's State and Local Policy Program has been working with the University of Minnesota's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Institute to conduct a set of federally sponsored studies on how transportation systems can be planned to accommodate an increasingly complex technological environment.

  TechPlan Projects

Six projects are currently funded by TechPlan and research is underway. Each research team focuses on a project that incorporates their vast knowledge in their respective area of expertise with the challenges of transportation planning in the current technological era.

TechPlan Roundtables

The TechPlan program has hosted two Roundtable events, one in June 2006 and one in September 2007. During Roundtables, TechPlan researchers, recognized ITS/transportation scholars, and local practitioners come together to discuss current research and its long-term implications for transportation policy. In addition, new project proposals are presented and discussed by an external peer review panel.

  Publications and Reports

TechPlan research has lead to numerous publications.

Quarterly reports have been compiled for the first year of research.
