I teach courses in transportation policy, transportation and land use, and planning methods. My research interests focus on transportation and environmental planning, travel behavior, air quality, and transportation-land use interactions. In general, I'm interested in answering these questions: How do people make their travel and location decisions? How do those decisions impact the environment? How do our planning decisions impact people's travel and location decisions? I have conducted extensive research on travel behavior and older vehicles, evaluating the air quality impacts of voluntary accelerated vehicle retirement programs. Prior to entering academia, I worked as an environmental and transportation planner.
