Tuesday 8CAIT Seminar Series: Celebrating International Women’s Day by Showcasing Latest Transportation Research & Equity Achievements
11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
The way that we think about and use transportation as it exists today has been shaped by innovative women leaders throughout history. They have contributed greatly to the safety of all modes of travel, efficiency of our transportation systems, and the development of new technology that drives transportation into the future. As the Region 2 USDOT University Transportation Center, Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) tackles some of the country’s most pressing infrastructure challenges, especially those that are endemic in high-volume multimodal corridors such as the Northeast. Many of these transportation challenges and initiatives, from evolving freight planning to meet modern needs to better incorporating diversity in organizations and building more resilient infrastructure, are led by women researchers. On International Women’s Day, CAIT is taking the time to recognize some of these women leaders in transportation research, and their recent work. In this complimentary seminar, you will hear from: Ms. Anne Strauss-Wieder, Director, Freight Planning, North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA); Dr. Melissa Tooley, Director of External Initiatives, Texas A&M Transportation Institute; Dr. Maria Garlock, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Co-Director of the Program in Architecture and Engineering, Princeton University.
