Welcome to the William and Barbara Leonard University Transportation Center at California State University, San Bernardino
Founded in 2006, the Center was created through a multi-year grant from the US Department of Transportation and matched with funding from the California Department of Transportation. The Center's national and regional objectives are threefold:
- Research-basic and applied research, the products which are judged by peers or other experts in the field of transportation to advance the body of knowledge in transportation;
- Education-an education program relating to transportation that includes multidisciplinary course work and participation in research;
- Technology Transfer-an ongoing program of technology transfer that makes transportation research results available to potential users in a form that can be implemented, utilized, or otherwise applied.
Theme
The theme of the Center is "Decision-Making and Management of Transportation Systems." One focus will be on the policies and practices that impact effective movements of people and goods within and through the Inland Empire. The Institute is particularly charged with attending to regional transportation needs, while serving as a focal point within the Inland Empire to maximize the impact of local transportation initiatives.
