Illinois Center
for Transportation

ICT, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s transportation research center founded in 2005, steers the development and implementation of cost-effective mobility technologies, improves safety and reliability, reduces congestion and minimizes environmental impacts while returning taxpayers’ dollars.

Building I-ACT will leverage Illinois’ current status as a connector hub for multimodal transit to position Illinois as a global leader for testing and commercializing autonomous systems, not only in freight but also in agriculture, aviation, urban and suburban settings. Visionary leadership and commitment to robust technology and its implementation will create new jobs, improve mobility and public safety, and introduce new technologies to Illinois and the global community.
