Georgia DOT provides matching funding for the Georgia Transportation Institute (GTI) Univeristy Transportation Center. This link will direct you to a non-GDOT website. The GTI-UTC is a consortium of Georgia universities active in transportation research and education and is a Tier I University Transportation Center with Federal sponsorship.

GTI is headquartered at the Georgia Institute of Technology and coordinates activities of researchers at the following universities:

Albany State University
Clark Atlanta University
Georgia Southern University
Georgia State University
Southern Polytechnic State University
University of Georgia

More than 40 researchers are active in research on topics including policy and planning, environmental issues, transportation technology, transportation infrastructure, and traffic operations. GTI-UTC, in cooperation with GDOT, sponsors annual research conferences to discuss research needs.
