The Science of Transportation convened more than 130 people from academia, industry, and government to showcase how federally funded university research strengthens America’s transportation systems, improves safety, and enhances the building materials that help us pave world-class roads, highways, and bridges.
The event featured several distinguished speakers, including: U.S. Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology Seval Oz, House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Ranking Member Rep. Rick Larsen (D-WA), CRH Executive Vice President of Government Relations Ryan Lindsey, and CNN transportation reporter Alexandra Skores.
Nine TSC member institutions from across the country presented cutting-edge research spanning advanced surface transportation materials, innovations in safety, and strategies to build more resilient infrastructure.
The exhibits highlighted how federal investments in basic science not only fuel discovery, but also bolster the nation’s economy and leadership. The event reinforced a clear message: When policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders align in support of sustained federal funding for basic research, the result is a stronger, more competitive America — where universities drive boundless innovation.
