*(WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE that, starting October 26, 2009, the Traffic Safety Center has a new name, SafeTREC, the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center.

Our new name more accurately reflects the manner in which our mission has grown since our founding nearly 10 years ago to encompass safety and travel risk in a multi-modal transportation system; a robust and diverse research agenda across multiple disciplines; and development and enhancement of curriculum, training, and outreach on the graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as for professionals and members of the community.)
