Our Mission


The Center for Transportation Studies (CTS), initiated in 2000, has been supported through endowments created by the Mercantile Library and the John W. Barriger, III Railroad Library.


Research opportunities are offered through the Center for qualified University of Missouri-St. Louis graduate students. Through their work at the Center and their Logistics and Supply Chain certificate program, graduate students have performed several research and network analyses for companies.


Additionally, the Center engages in research related to airports and per capita for-hire transportation through its partnership with the Airport Ground Transportation Association (AGTA), an international trade association headquartered there.
