The Transportation Research Forum (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. We 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.
