Cambridge Systematics (CS) was founded in 1972 by four Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors and a colleague who shared an understanding that transportation's greatest challenges call for thoughtful, objective, research-based solutions. Their charter pledged "the application of systematic analysis to problems of transportation, the environment, urban development, and regional planning." Our commitment to the charter laid out by our founders has led us to become recognized nationally and internationally as an objective source of pragmatic expertise applicable to a wide range of transportation challenges and opportunities.
