MiSTI

In 2005, SAFETEA-LU legislation authorized the funding for the formation of 60 centers seated at universities across the US. These centers each focus on areas of expertise in transportation research, education, workforce development, and technology transfer.

At Michigan Tech, the University Transportation Center for Materials in Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (MiSTI), is exploring the role materials play in the sustainability of our transportation infrastructure.

Faculty and research staff with expertise in aggregates and soils, portland cement concretes, and asphalts, are exploring innovative materials and processes for creating a transportation infrastructure that meets our needs for maintaining global competitiveness, relies less on limited natural resources, is more economical to construct, repair and maintain, and promotes environmental stewardship without compromising mobility and accessibility today and in the future.

Through distinctive educational programs and professional outreach, MiSTI is educating and developing a workforce of future sustainable transportation materials specialists ready to meet the demands of the transportation industry and the world.
