What does TTI mean in UNIVERSITIES

Travel Technology Initiative (TTI) is a program established by the United States government to create and promote travel technology that has the potential to improve the safety, security and efficiency of air and ground transportation. TTI seeks to enable innovation in travel technology applications by providing access to datasets, resources, tools, and technical assistance.

TTI provides innovative solutions that make it easier for travelers to get where they need to go quickly and securely. By enabling faster movement through airports, smoother navigation through public transit systems, more efficient car trips, and greater convenience for daily commuters, TTI strives to make traveling a more pleasant experience for all those on the move.

Through its competitive grants program, TTI funds research projects that seek to develop technologies such as enhanced navigation systems, better tracking of passenger movements through airports and other transport hubs, improved traffic flow for vehicles on public roads and highways, communication technologies between transportation providers and consumers. It also invests in cutting-edge data collection platforms that can be used by researchers or travelers for more accurate information about their journeys.

If you have an idea for an innovative travel technology project or would like to participate in a research initiative supported by TTI, you can submit your proposal online via the Grants page of our website or contact us directly at [email protected]. Our team will review each proposal carefully according to established criteria before deciding whether or not it meets our standards for funding.

Working with TTI on a research project gives you access not only to funding but also a range of resources such as datasets from federal agencies, extensive expertise in travel technology development, networking opportunities with other innovators in the field, transferable skillset such as statistical analysis or software engineering which can help you launch future projects.

Yes – all projects developed under the auspices of TTI must adhere strictly to all applicable laws regarding intellectual property rights (IPR). Any project using open source software must also comply with certain license agreements specific to the particular open source platform being used. Additionally we require all applicants for grants of any kind to complete an eligibility questionnaire prior to submission of their application forms.

Yes – once your proposal is approved we will provide support in setting up your project as well as ongoing mentoring throughout its duration. We host regular workshops & webinars covering topics related both directly & indirectly with your project’s objectives & regularly review progress reports submitted by participants during the course of their research.

We aim at processing & responding fully within 3 weeks but depending on number & complexity of applications this may take longer so please bear this in mind while making your plans.
