The Arizona Transportation Institute (AZTI) was established in the summer of 2024 through a collaborative effort between the three state universities in Arizona—University of Arizona (UA), Arizona State University (ASU), and Northern Arizona University (NAU)—and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). This collaboration is formalized through a Letter of Understanding among three state universities and a Grant Agreement between UA and ADOT, creating a transportation research consortium dedicated to advancing transportation research and development within the state.
