Centre for Automated and Transformative Transportation Systems (CATTS)

The University of Toronto's Centre for Automated and Transformative Transportation Systems (CATTS) is a research centre for analyzing and quantifying transformation within transportation systems in the era of advanced technologies and automation. The CATTS is the first research centre of its kind to address the large-scale impacts of disruptive transportation technologies and services on our cities. It is a multi-disciplinary multi-sector collaboration that gathers academia, industry, technology experts, and the government. The centre is created to guide societal transformation in a positive direction, avoid the emergence of counterproductive travel trends, and emboldens Ontario cities as leaders in North America and the world. The CATTS builds on the strength of UTTRI, one of Canada’s largest transportation research institutes, which particularly excels in large-scale transportation systems analysis.
