Recently, VTTI in collaboration with the Virginia Science Festival, Blacksburg Transit and Virginia Department of Transportation hosted Open House.

Individuals, families and small groups came to take a 30 minute tour of Virginia’s Smart Road and learn about research. Details on the next Open House will be available on on our website next September!
