| | Research Spotlight: Implementing Sustainable Freight Technology Transfer Systems | | State Departments of Transportation seek to implement efficient, resilient, and sustainable freight infrastructure planning projects which require public sector agencies to gain knowledge of best practices from key stakeholders in industry, education, and government in the California supply chain. A new white paper from the Center for International Trade and Transportation (CITT) provides a gap analysis, showcases a research response, and shows successful opportunities to address obstacles and problems for stakeholders in the California supply chain. The white paper and the corresponding research represent an implication-based assessment of the current state of sustainable freight technology transfer and outlines initial implications of a still nascent area of research. | |

The METRANS Transportation Consortium was established in 1998 as the first University Transportation Center in Southern California. METRANS is a joint partnership of the University of Southern California (USC) and California State University, Long Beach (CSULB).
METRANS' mission is to solve transportation problems of large metropolitan regions through interdisciplinary research, education, and outreach. Its three primary objectives are: (1) fostering independent, high quality research to solve the nation's transportation problems; (2) training the next generation transportation workforce; and (3) disseminating information, best practices, and technology to the professional community.
