Barry E. Prentice's research and teaching interests are logistics, transportation economics, urban transportation, economic development and trade policy.
Dr. Prentice has authored or co-authored more than 150 research reports, journal articles and contributions to books. His scholarly work has been recognized for excellence in national paper competitions and awards. In 1999, National Transportation Week named him Manitoba Transportation Person of the Year.
Dr. Prentice has served on the Boards of Directors of several transportation organizations: Winnipeg Airports Authority, Inc.

He is Associate Editor of the Journal of Transportation Research Forum, and Honourary President of the Canadian Institute for Traffic and Transportation (2001-3). In addition, Dr. Prentice has served Winnipeg TransPlan 2010, the Mid-Continent International Trade Corridor Task Force and expert committees. In 1999 and 2003, he received University of Manitoba Outreach Awards.
Transport research and education have a long history at the University of Manitoba. The Transport Institute, which is the focal point for these activities, has a two-fold mission:
- to stimulate and co-ordinate transport research and education at the University of Manitoba; and,
- to bridge the gap between traditional academic research and teaching activities and the needs of the transport industry, policy makers, and users of transport services.
