Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Washington State Transportation Center (TRAC) is a cooperative transportation research agency. Its members, the University of Washington (UW), Washington State University (WSU) and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), support TRAC to coordinate both state and commercial transportation research efforts and to develop research opportunities nationally and locally. TRAC's primary function is to provide a link among the state, university researchers and the private sector. Much of TRAC's research is funded by WSDOT and TRAC acts as a liaison, connecting those who need applied research at WSDOT and those best suited for conducting it at the universities. The TRAC offices at the UW and at WSU coordinate resources, serve as a focal point for student involvement in transportation research, and provide services such as report editing, production, and graphics.
