Welcome to Transportation Systems Engineering

Transportation systems are the building blocks of modern society. Efficient and safe movement of information, people, goods, and services ensures a thriving economy and improves our quality of life.
Our students study not only the efficient, safe design and operations of these critical linkages but also the systems’ influence on our travel behavior, how we design our communities, and the quality of our environment. Working with our faculty of world-renowned scholars, and graduate students also helps improve the design and performance of our transportation systems as well as our understanding of how they fit into the environmental, institutional, and social contexts of our society.
Students supplement their core technical transportation courses in urban planning, traffic engineering, highway and transit facility design, administration, and statistical analysis with interdisciplinary coursework from other units across Georgia Tech.
