CPAC is taking research on the road. Literally—aboard Tiger Transit buses as part of our Federal Transit Authority-funded project. Our mission? Finding smarter ways to make transit buses more efficient and sustainable.

Innovation doesn’t just happen in the lab—it happens in motion. And at Auburn, we’re driving the future of transportation forward.
