We are asking transportation agencies to:
- View past projects on the Transportation Technology Tournament website to see the incredible work done by student teams on real-world challenges.
- Provide us with several challenge problems in your agency or system that can be addressed by student teams during this year's tournament.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly with any questions. We are more than happy to help you connect with participating agencies or student teams or answer any other questions about the tournament.
