It was established in order to radically improve the system of training highly qualified personnel for the transport sector of the republic based on advanced foreign experience and international standards, to widely introduce innovative forms and methods of training, as well as modern pedagogical and information technologies into the educational process, as well as to strengthen the material and technical base and further increase the scientific potential of educational institutions of the industry.
Tashkent State Transport University was established in 1931 under the name of the Central Asian Institute of Railway Transport Engineers (SAZIIT), which began its activities with the training of specialists - mechanics and operators.
After the first student enrollment was announced in August 1931, as a result, 125 people were admitted to the ranks of the railway workers' first students.
The teaching staff of the SAZIIT was initially composed of course workers, specialists from the railway node of the Krasnovo-Tochny Plant, and part-time and part-time teachers from the Central Asian State University. In the 1931-1932 academic year, 35 full-time teachers worked at SAZIT. Among them are the first organizers of the institute, M.Ya. Botolov, Yu. Goltsman, V. Dimushin, M. Egorov, A. Zinovieva, A. Kraft, S. Novokreshchenov, Nurmukhamedov, M. Strusevich, T. Kuchkarov, V. Kapustin, Kh. Khodjaev, D. Zaglyadimov, A. Tsenin, N. Pisarev, A. Suvorov, E. Yakub, and others.
In November 1931, the railway department of the SAZIIT was established, while a meeting of the institute's academic council decided to establish the institute's branches in Ashgabat, Krasnovodsk, Almaty, and Orenburg, with the main workers.
Construction of the SAZIIT educational building, a 32-apartment residential building for teachers, two one-story temporary dormitories and other facilities began in 1932 and was completed in 1936.
From September 1, 1933, only 5 full-time study groups and 4 evening study groups were engaged in the new academic building. The first 4-story educational and laboratory building houses educational workshops and a kitchen. In 1936, the construction of the educational and laboratory building was completed.
The library's book stock was small and amounted to 4,812 copies in 1931 and 12,225 in 1938. The need for books, journals, and specialized literature exceeded their availability, necessitating the regular preparation of textbooks and reference books by the institute's faculty for the registration of courses and diplomas.
The war disrupted the peaceful rhythm of the institute's work, and from the first days of the war, many teachers voluntarily went to the front, including: N.P. Alexandrov, N.G. Kochiev, B.A. Larionov, B.V. Volkov, M.F. Prasolov, D.V. Pistsov, S.V. Subbotin, and other employees. In the extremely difficult autumn of the first year of the war, the employees of the institute mainly denied themselves and demonstrated the traditional hospitality characteristic of the Uzbek people. Evacuated teachers and students from other transport universities were accepted and placed as brothers. Thus, in September 1941, a large group of students from the Leningrad Institute of Railway Engineers were admitted. 
With the support of the Tashkent and Turkestan-Sibir railways, a network of branches of the preparatory department was established in Russian, Uzbek and Kazakh railway schools in Andijan, Kokand, Almaty, Bishkek and Dzhambyl on the basis of 10th grade graduates. The institute began its post-war activities with the following 3 faculties:
Despite the difficult post-war years, he did not stop construction work aimed at improving the material and technical base of the institute. Thus, in 1946, the construction of a new four-story complex of the institute began. At the same time, it was planned to build a building for the location of training and experimental workshops, heating laboratories and a central boiler room, an open-type sports town, an electric substation and a bathhouse and laundry complex.
