The transportation research programs at TSU are provided through two
specialized research units, Innovative Transportation Research
Institute (ITRI) and Center for Transportation Training and Research
(CTTR), which are also supported by the top of the line lab
facilities, including full-motion driving simulator, mobile traffic
van, real-time traffic monitoring system, portable emission
measurement system, and full-motion flight simulator. Students in
pursuing the graduate program have the opportunity to associate with
the first class researchers and scholars, and be involved in the
most advanced transportation research activities and technologies.
Students who are interested in the graduate study in transportation
at Texas Southern University are preferred to have a strong
background and/or great interest in computers and statistics, and
