PAST TRAFFIC SAFETY RESEARCH AND REPORTS
The Howard University Transportation Research Center (HUTRC) was established to lead interdisciplinary urban transportation research in Washington, DC. The Center seeks to support the interest of the University and its sponsors. In addition to direct involvement in research projects, the key staff members of HUTRC are also engaged in the management of diverse studies and building alliances with other research entities.
​
Over the past 20 years, HUTRC has embarked upon research, training and outreach activities in areas such as transportation policy, management, planning, economics, engineering and policy. Some of the past papers are listed below:
