Transportation Seminars at PSU

Transportation Seminars at Portland State University have been a tradition since 2000. Formerly known as the "Friday Transportation Seminar" series, we've opened up the schedule to accommodate more audiences post-pandemic and the seminars are no longer held exclusively on Fridays. With over 450 seminars presented and recorded, we host both visiting and local scholars to share the latest in research, technology, and implementation in transportation. This seminar series is supported by PSU's Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
WHO CAN ATTEND: This series is free and open to the public.
WHERE: Online or in person at PSU. Check each individual seminar page for location info for that seminar.
ACCESSIBILITY: The Vanport Building (where most seminars are held) has wheelchair-accessible entrances on 4th and 5th Avenue. If you need to request reasonable accommodations, email us at asktrec@pdx.edu.
