 Photo by Transportation Research Board Welcome! I am a Professor in the UW-Milwaukee Department of Urban Planning, and I specialize in pedestrian and bicycle safety analysis, data collection, and modeling; interactions between transportation and the built environment; and multimodal travel behavior. I am an Associate Director of the USDOT-funded Center for Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety University Transportation Center (CPBS UTC) and a member of the Transportation Research Board Committee on Integrated Transportation Safety Management.
During the past 25 years, I have worked for Toole Design Group, the UC Berkeley Safe Transportation Research & Education Center, the UC Davis Sustainable Transportation Center, and the UNC Highway Safety Research Center. I earned my Ph.D. from the UC Berkeley Department of City and Regional Planning in 2011. I’m originally from Verona, WI, and my wife Rese and I live with our children, Stella and Jake, and our dogs, Ori and Kuiper. |
