The Institute for Transport Studies is an academic department of the University of Leeds, UK.
The Institute's primary purpose is to advance the understanding of transport activity, operations and use, and to develop skills and best practice among transport professionals and decision-makers.
The history of ITS goes back more than forty years and the University of Leeds first offered a transport Masters programme in 1965. The Institute was formally established in 1972 and has since grown to be a world leader in transport research and teaching.
