About our Chapters

Transportation Research Forum (TRF) chapters forge partnerships with universities, private sector providers, metropolitan planning agencies, and others to develop thought-provoking events, collaborate on research, and engage students in learning opportunities. Chapters host several events each year, participate in the annual forum, and contribute to the peer-reviewed Journal of the Transportation Research Forum.

Many chapters offer virtual events for the benefit of all TRF members. Chapter locations:

  • Chicago.
  • Minnesota.
  • New York City.
  • St. Louis.
  • Wisconsin – Twin Ports.


TRF Knowledge Centers

Transportation Research Forum’s Knowledge Centers bring together members who collaborate on research, events, and student-focused programs. Members from these centers also attend and present at our annual forum.

TRF members who live in regions without a chapter are invited to form their own chapter or knowledge center. Knowledge center locations:

  • Panama
  • South Korea
  • Washington, D.C.
