 Welcome to the Transportation Research Forum (TRF). Founded in 1958, TRF is one of the oldest professional transportation organizations in existence.
TRF is dedicated to providing an impartial forum for the exchange of ideas among practitioners, researchers, and government officials regarding all aspects of logistics and for both domestic and international issues.
Our purpose is to provide a common meeting ground or forum for the discussion of ideas and research techniques applicable to economic, management, and public policy problems involving transportation.
The Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute (UGPTI) at North Dakota State University is the administrative home of the TRF and publisher of its journal.
