The Center for Technology & Training (CTT) is a research center housed at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Michigan Technological University. The CTT works with local road agencies, the Michigan Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and other transportation-related organizations to build, maintain and manage public infrastructure.
We accomplish this through:
Workshops
Online Training
Annual Conferences

The CTT’s efforts are distributed amongst several ongoing projects:
An integrated roadway asset management software suite for
local road agencies.

CTT Portal
In support of the CTT’s software related products, the CTT developed a customer portal to make many of its applications easily available to its customers in a web interface.
No downloads, no installations, and no hassles!
The CTT Portal currently contains the following applications:
