NICR Webcast Series

The goals of the NICR Webcast Series:

To increase the knowledge of traffic congestion by transportation professionals, policymakers, and the communities affected by congestion by sharing NICR research and its findings
To increase the reach of technology transfer
To encourage discussion and collaboration between participants about traffic congestions and solutions

New webcasts are released every other Thursday beginning in February 2021 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM EST. For those unable to attend, the webinars will be recorded and available for viewing the following week.

NICR also sponsors the Friday Transportation Seminar Series which hosts discussions on research, engineering, and planning each Friday during the spring and fall semester.
