The Southern Plains Transportation Center (SPTC) is a consortium of 11 universities from USDOT Region 6: The University of Oklahoma (consortium lead, OU), Oklahoma State University (OSU), University of Arkansas (UARK), the University of New Mexico (UNM), Louisiana Tech University (LTU), Louisiana State University (LSU), The University of Texas at El Pasto (UTEP), Navajo Technical University (NTU), El Paso Community College (EPCC), Texas Southern University (TSU), and Texas A&M University (TAMU)/Texas Transportation Institute (TTI).

The Center was established in 2013 based on an award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R) to conduct a multidisciplinary program of transportation research, education, and technology transfer.
