Mission and Vision

Vision

The State of Georgia should be a model for developing coordinated transportation research and education programs involving the diverse capabilities of the state's public and private universities; federal, state and local agencies; and private industry.

Many states have strong transportation research and education programs that involve coordinated efforts between the state's universities and the department of transportation. These efforts help meet the future transportation needs of the state and nation and foster an environment that helps to attract additional research funding to the state. The State of Georgia has the resources in its universities, state transportation agencies, and private industry to allow Georgia to be a model for transportation research and education programs.

Mission

The Georgia Transportation Institute fosters communication and coordination between the State's universities, transportation agencies, and transportation-related industry and promotes the development of ideas and people that will place Georgia at the forefront of transportation research.

The Georgia Transportation Institute serves as the forum for communication and coordination between Georgia's universities, which have diverse transportation research and education programs that reflect each university's mission. GTI will serve as a conduit for developing and exchanging research needs and ideas with external groups including government transportation agencies and the transportation industry.
