UC Berkeley's Institute of Transportation Studies |
| Description: | The Institute was created as an Organized Research Unit in 1948 by the California state legislature in response to the deferred maintenance of transportation facilities during World War II. Its mission was to conduct research and provide instruction to a new generation of transportation professionals. Today ITS Berkeley is home to a large and diverse community of people who study all aspects of transportation—from technological advances to social and environmental consequences. * Many of our faculty and other researchers play leadership roles in industry and government. * More than 100 graduate students pursuing master's degrees and Ph.D.'s currently study here. * Nearly 100 graduates have gone on to university faculty positions. * Among the ITS faculty, four are members of the National Academy of Engineering, eight are editors or associate editors of leading scholarly journals, and several have chaired prestigious committees at the state, federal, and international level.
