NC State University / ITRE
About
Walmart is allowing ITRE to utilize the exhibitor table that we have available to us through our sponsorship level. The description below is copied from their website: The Institute for Transportation Research and Education (ITRE) is an institutional center at North Carolina State University. Chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1978, we conduct surface and air transportation research, training, and technical support activities. ITRE works across various modes of transportation to provide capacity and expertise for local, state, federal, and international clients to address critical transportation and infrastructure issues. Prior to transitioning administratively to our current home at NC State University in 1992, ITRE existed as the University of North Carolina Institute for Transportation Research and Education. Today, our expertise covers numerous travel modes and services that reflect the ever-evolving and interconnected nature of the transportation field. Our staff and partners operate with a “people-centered” lens that recognizes the holistic nature of transportation and the many ways that people are impacted by transportation-related decisions. We work across disciplines with faculty and private industry to provide valuable deliverables to our sponsors and the community. Through our work, we are proud to mentor approximately 100 undergraduate and graduate students annually, providing them with rewarding professional experiences.
