KTC HALL OF FAME
The Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) established the Kentucky Transportation Hall of Fame in 1990 to formally recognize people whose professional contributions have significantly improved the safety, quality, and efficiency of the Commonwealth’s transportation systems. Both public and private sector practitioners are well represented in the Hall of Fame.
OUR HISTORY
Since 1981, the Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) has been a leader at the state and national levels in multidisciplinary transportation research. The Center uses applied research to provide a safe, efficient, environmentally sound and fiscally responsible transportation system that delivers economic opportunity and enhances the quality of life in Kentucky.
Housed in the Oliver H. Raymond Building on the University of Kentucky campus, KTC researchers enjoy access to spacious laboratories as well as the most technologically advanced equipment and instrumentation with which to conduct their work. They routinely collaborate with the Department of Civil Engineering’s renowned faculty on research projects.
KTC’s researchers work in several program areas, including: Bridge Preservation, Construction Engineering and Project Management, Economics, Finance and Policy, Education, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Pavement, Materials, Geotechnology and Infrastructure Assessment, Planning, Project Development, Special Projects and Initiatives, Structures, and Traffic & Safety.
In addition to strong working relationships with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Federal Highway Administration, the Center has forged strategic partnerships with a wide variety of government agencies, transportation organizations, and key stakeholders. Through its commitment to high-quality research, technology transfer, and educating the next generation of transportation professionals, the Center works every day to improve the nation’s transportation systems. And with talented research staff and a proven track record of delivering transportation solutions, KTC will continue to expand its national profile and cement its reputation for producing timely, accurate, innovative research.
