What we do and why
The Academy’s work is vital for the development of evidence-based solutions and new insights into the ever changing and demanding transport landscape. Our ability to generate and apply this knowledge not only helps to shape and define the future of transport, but also enables us to address and solve complex transport challenges for our clients.
Rigorous data analytics, proven approaches and unrivalled market knowledge are some of the hallmarks of TRL’s work. The Academy supports innovation and refinement of our capabilities and drives continuous learning. It also plays a critical role in monitoring and managing TRL’s intellectual property as a vital repository of information in transport.
