Eno Center for Transportation

The Eno Center for Transportation is a non-profit, independent organization based in Washington, D.C., with the stated mission of shaping public debate on critical multimodal transportation issues and to build an innovative network of transportation professionals. The Center was created and endowed in Westport, Connecticut, by William Phelps Eno, a pioneer in the field of traffic control.

History
In 1921, William P. Eno created a corporation to promote safety on roads and highways. He started the Eno Foundation for Highway Traffic Regulation and began attracting other industry experts to discuss improving the movement of people and goods.

On April 21, 1921, Eno published the foundation's articles of association. These articles laid out the purposes of the foundation:
 * 1) Devise traffic methods and rules
 * 2) Publish information on traffic
 * 3) Standardize general highway traffic regulations
 * 4) Familiarize the public with traffic laws
 * 5) Promote special traffic regulations
 * 6) Provide proper instruction of traffic police
 * 7) Promote proper understanding by all police that they have general traffic obligations when in uniform
 * 8) Furnish advice on traffic regulation generally
 * 9) Recommend physical changes, such as widening of roadbeds, to assist the movement of traffic
