| Abstract | The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) established the Transportation Systems Center (TSC) in 1970 to serve as a federal resource positioned to provide world-renowned, multidisciplinary, multimodal transportation expertise on behalf of U.S. DOT operating administrations, the Office of the Secretary and other federal and non-federal organizations. For fifty years the Volpe Center ‘s extensive cross-modal partnerships have led to innovative solutions that advance national and global transportation systems for the public good in steps with the nation’s strategic transportation goals and the priorities of the Secretary of Transportation. In 1990, the TSC was renamed in honor of John A. Volpe, former U.S. Transportation Secretary and governor of Massachusetts. |
