Since its foundation in 1993, the Institute has been headed by Professor Dr. sc. ing. Juris Rihards Naudzuns. Since 2010, Professor Ainars Paeglitis has been elected Director of the Institute. 

The Institute of Transport Infrastructure provides studies in the construction profile programme «Civil Engineering» with a sub-programme in the field of transport structures for the training of bachelors, masters and engineers, as well as in the geodesy profile programme «Geodesy and Cartography». Since 2003, the Institute has been re-profiled as a bachelor and master professional study programme «Transport Engineering», and in 2008 the programme «Geodesy and Cartography» was replaced by the professional study programme «Geomatics».  The Institute also provides doctoral studies. 

In the early years, the Transport Engineering specialisation was in road, railway (until 1996), port and bridge construction, while the Surveying specialisation was in surveying, cartography or real estate management.
