Transportation

A team including Professor Jason Cao received the 2021 Best Paper Award from a standing committee of the Transportation Research Board (TRB). The paper examined the relationships between land use and transit ridership in Shenzhen, China.

The funding will support research in a number of areas, including transportation equity and assessing the effects of highway improvements on adjacent businesses.

The committee heard expertise from Frank Douma on automated vehicles; Adeel Lari on telecommuting; and Lee Munnich on transportation finance.

Professor Greg Lindsey was honored for his paper on the development of a trail-crossing crash model, one of the first currently available.
