I am pleased to annouce the establishment of Transportation Research Group of India to be called as "TRG" (Regd. Under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960 with Reg. No. DRB/C/SOR/29/2011-12).
The aim of TRG is to aid India's overall growth through focused transportation research, education, and policies in the country. TRG wish to provide a unique forum within India for the interchange of ideas among transportation researchers, educators, managers, policymakers

At the same time, to also address the transportation related issues of; safety, efficiency, economic and social development, local and global environmental impact, energy, land-use, equity and access for the widest range of travelers with special needs etc.
