Established in 1978, The Institute for Transportation Research and Education (ITRE) is recognized by state and local government agencies as a leading resource in transportation research and technical assistance. As a unit of North Carolina State University, ITRE provides research assistance and project administration for the 16-campus UNC system and Duke University, as well as for state government agencies.
ITRE assists local government and state government agencies in meeting a wide range of transportation challenges through the application of research. This effort is coordinated through ITRE's program areas: Highways, Local Governments, Pupil Transportation, Geographic Information Systems, and Public Transportation.
ITRE shares with North Carolina A&T State University lead institute responsibilities for the Southeastern Transportation Center, a consortium that pursues regional approaches to transportation research and training challenges. Accordingly, ITRE provides administrative coordination for cooperative research and teaching activities at STC member schools: Georgia State University, Vanderbilt University, the universities of Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Chapel Hill, NC Central University, NC State University, NC A&T State University, and Duke University.
ITRE also serves as North Carolina's Technology Transfer Center, a federally funded technical assistance program focused on local government transportation needs and issues. Furthermore, ITRE supports the activities of two newly established research centers at NC State University: the Center for Transportation and the Environment and the Transportation Materials Research Center. Both of these centers will conduct research and education activities that will have national prominence.
