The Patricia F. Waller Scholarship Fund empowers students to pursue their academic passions through meaningful research in transportation and mobility. It attracts talented students from across the University of Michigan who are eager to tackle critical challenges, from roadway safety and policy to cutting-edge technologies that are transforming how people move.
For 60 years, UMTRI has been a global leader in advancing transportation systems that protect everyone who uses them—drivers, passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and individuals who use wheelchairs. Our work spans human factors, biomechanics, injury prevention, driver behavior, large-scale data, and the research that shapes smarter vehicles, safer roads, and stronger public policy.
Together with Mcity, UMTRI is helping define the future of mobility across the lifespan, on the ground and in the air.
Each year, UMTRI engages nearly 300 students in hands-on, real-world research experiences. Your gift today will ensure that students across campus continue to have the financial support and opportunities they need to lead the next generation of transportation innovation.
