Outreach
PacTrans maintains a robust outreach calendar, including facilitation of, and participation in, many events geared toward practitioners, researchers, and students. PacTrans continues to rely on these opportunities to showcase our strengths, research, abilities, and technologies; build stronger partnerships with the outside world; and showcase our many educational opportunities to young upcoming students in transportation.
PacTrans host various workshops, seminars, and conferences; we host people from all over the world for symposia and tours; we attend others’ events and present research, give lectures, and host informational booths; and we regularly reach out to, and meet with, potential new partners from all over the transportation field.
