This #NTDSW, we're highlighting TTI's @TeensDriverSeat, a peer-to-peer injury prevention program. TDS empowers teens to lead conversations about distracted driving, seat belts, speeding, passenger safety, impaired driving and sharing the road responsibly. bit.ly/4B4c7lz

Today, 25 years later, we pause to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. The Freedom From Terrorism Memorial on our main campus stands as a lasting tribute to those we lost that day, to the Aggies who have since made the ultimate sacrifice and to those who continue to serve and protect our nation. We will #NeverForget.

Advancing Cold In-Place Recycling Solutions for Texas Roadways

The @TTITAMU is helping Texas save nearly $3 million by "recycling" roads. Working with @TxDOT, TTI put a technique called cold in-place recycling to work: grinding up worn asphalt, mixing it with a stabilizing agent, and laying it back down the same day as a durable new base. By reusing the old pavement right where it sits, the approach cuts material costs, moves at more than a lane-mile a day, and reduces the need for new raw materials.
