California PATH Program: An Overview

The California Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways or PATH program was founded in 1986 through a collaborative agreement between Caltrans (California Department of Transportation) and the University of California. The goal of this agreement was to establish a research center with a unique multidisciplinary research program taking advantage of vast resources of University of California. At its core mission, PATH tries to harness the capabilities of advanced technologies to improve transportation efficiency, safety, and accessibility.
