RESEARCH INTERESTS
The central theme of my
research is that prejudices in professional practice have resulted in the
development of less-than-optimal transportation networks. My research includes
historical and contemporary analyses. I conduct historical studies of street
and highway planning and the evolution of the transportation planning
profession. I conduct contemporary analyses of public transit policy and
planning, surface transportation finance, state and federal transportation
policy, transportation policy innovation, and the connection between
transportation and land use.
