MITL was born from a pressing need and a desire for change by business leaders, by civic leaders at all levels of government, and by academics that specialize in the study of transportation and logistics.
MITL is designed to harness the resources of McMaster University in pursuit of our mission. There are opportunities to draw on the expertise of university faculty members from multiple faculties such as: engineering, science, business, health sciences and social sciences and many sub-disciplines. Researchers on MITL projects have access to worldwide research that has taken place on the movement of goods and people and have the opportunity to build on this work as they solve current research problems for the benefit of our stakeholders.
