Mineta Consortium for Emerging, Efficient, and Safe Transportation

The Mineta Consortium for Emerging, Efficient, and Safe Transportation (MCEEST), led by the Mineta Transportation Institute at San José State University, conducts research, education, workforce development, and technology transfer activities to enhance the safety, efficiency, and reliability of transportation systems. MCEEST’s work supports the development of effective and well-planned transportation networks that improve mobility for people and goods across regions.

The Consortium facilitates cross-disciplinary and collaborative activities that contribute to informed transportation decision-making. MCEEST aligns with the USDOT Strategic Plan goals of Safety, Transformation, and Organizational Excellence by fostering research and innovation in transportation planning, policy, and engineering. Through partnerships with transportation leaders and experts, the Consortium develops forward-looking solutions to address mobility challenges and improve transportation system performance nationwide.

MCEEST brings together the expertise of four leading institutions committed to advancing transportation research and workforce development: Howard University, Navajo Technical University, San José State University, and the University of South Florida. These institutions provide a broad perspective on transportation issues, ensuring that research and educational efforts address important regional and national transportation needs.
