HCS Suite academic subscription current? That one deserves a double check
As campuses welcome students back for a new academic year, instructors are preparing course materials, updating assignments, and making sure students have access to the tools they will need throughout the semester. For many civil engineering programs, that preparation includes confirming that the institution’s McTrans academic subscription is active and ready to go. From introductory traffic operations courses to graduate research, academic subscriptions help faculty bring industry-standard tools into their classrooms while supporting hands-on learning experiences with HCS, HSS, and TSIS-CORSIM.
McTrans Academic Subscriptions
McTrans academic subscriptions are designed specifically for educational use. They are available to academic institutions and provide a specified number of seats across the institution, with use intended for supervised classroom teaching or lab-based research.
That means students can move beyond equations on the board and tackle real-world transportation analysis problems. Instructors can demonstrate capacity and level-of-service concepts using HCS, introduce HSM Part C safety performance analysis with HSS, or bring traffic simulation concepts to life with TSIS-CORSIM. Whether the assignment involves evaluating a signalized intersection, comparing safety interventions, or modeling a corridor, McTrans tools help connect classroom concepts with professional practice.
McTrans Academic Community
This month, we are excited to highlight the academic community using McTrans software. Our academic subscribers include 85+ institutions across 37 US states with additional academic users in 20 other countries.

And because no back-to-school feature is complete without a faculty voice, we will be adding testimonials from professors who use HCS, HSS, and TSIS-CORSIM in their courses and labs.
Don’t Hear It from Us!
No back-to-school season is complete without hearing from the educators using our software! We’re thrilled to share testimonials from faculty bringing HCS, HSS, and TSIS-CORSIM to life in their courses and labs.

As the semester begins, do not forget the essentials: sharpen the pencils, update the syllabus, charge the laptop, and make sure the HCS Suite academic subscription is ready to go. McTrans is proud to support the classrooms and research labs where future transportation professionals build their first hands-on experiences with industry-relevant analysis tools.
