Thank you for visiting the website of the Waterloo Public Transportation Initiative (WPTI).
WPTI is a research group committed to providing expertise in the fields of transit planning and transportation engineering to address the challenges relevant to Canadian public transportation agencies. We are dedicated to promoting and improving public transit by executing an integrative approach to research in (1) improving transit operations, (2) attracting riders, and (3) capturing the regional benefits from transit agencies.

Congratulations Abel!
WPTI is pleased to
announce that PhD Candidate Abel Lopez Dodero has received
an offer for an internship at the World Bank in Washington
DC during the summer of 2011. He will be working with senior
policy officials on issues related to transit delivery in Mexico
- making professional connections and gathering the final
data for his thesis. Well done, Abel!
WPTI at TRB!
The Transportation Research Board conference, held in
Washington DC each year, attracts more than 10,000
transportation professionals. This year, WPTI and the
University of Waterloo sponsored more than 20 students to
attend the meeting and present our research work. Papers
presented at the conference included:
Accurate and Less
