SPTC is proud to be a sister entity to the Oklahoma Transportation Library, located on the University of Oklahoma Norman campus. OTL is owned by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, and partners with 28 other state transportation libraries and state departments of transportation. Housing nearly 20,000 physical and digital items, the library is an important resource for transportation research, as well as related topics such as structural engineering, materials, geotechnical maps, and the latest research as well as historical documents. Additionally, the library specializes in workforce development and Section 508 document remediation, and leads a pooled fund that works together to accomplish projects such as digitization, cataloging, and peer exchanges.

SPTC is a proud partner of the IBT/ABC-UTC at Florida International University, a Tier 1 University Transportation Center. This partnership enables greater research capacity, a wider knowledge base, and extended networking opportunities. Together, they have hosted several workforce development activities, such as Oklahoma Transportation Research Day, the Transportation Industry and Workforce Development Symposium, and regular webinars over topics of interest. These activities provide workforce training for students and professionals, building on necessary skills and showing the latest technology being used in the field.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is a longstanding partner and stakeholder of SPTC, supporting a wide range of its research and workforce development initiatives. Many SPTC projects incorporate an ODOT component—spanning areas such as bridge research, workforce development, and Section 508 document remediation—focused on developing practical, real-time solutions to challenges currently faced by the agency.

ODOT also plays a vital role in workforce development by engaging its engineers as mentors to SPTC students, both in the classroom and in the field. Through this collaboration, students gain valuable, hands-on experience and develop the skills necessary to design roadways and bridges in accordance with industry standards.
