Sustainable & Livable Transportation Systems for Smart Growth

Welcome to the CTLS Website

Welcome to the Center for Transportation and Livable Systems (CTLS), the University of Connecticut's University Transportation Center funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation. While our name has recently changed, our research activities, educational programs and outreach activities still focus on our theme of Sustainable and Livable Transportation Systems for Smart Growth. We're excited about the role CTLS will play in addressing pressing national issues and research needs in transportation and smart growth.

CTLS is part of the UConn Consortium of Transportation Centers (UCTC), a trio of transportation centers that conduct complementary and collaborative research in transportation and infrastructure systems. The Connecticut Transportation Institute (CTI) and Center for Resilient Transportation Infrastructure (CRTI) complete the consortium - providing expertise in materials, security, sensing and more.

CTLS pursues an innovative, integrative, and multi-disciplinary vision of sustainable transportation systems by:

  • Integrating transportation and land use.
  • Leveraging technological innovation.
  • Promoting sustainability in communities, mobility and the economy.
  • Creating safe and efficient systems.

As you visit our site please be sure to explore the upcoming CTLS activities, learn more about the people that are CTLS, download some of our recent publications and be sure to contact us with any questions you might have.
