UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies

We are deeply saddened by the loss of esteemed colleague and mentor Marty Wachs. During his tenure as our Director (1999-2006) & @UCBerkeley (1996-2006), he strengthened transportation ties between @Cal_Engineer & @ced_berkeley programs and established the Safe Transportation and Education Research Center (SafeTREC). Remember him here: https://www.its.ucla.edu/2021/04/12/remembering-marty-wachs/

UC Institute of Transportation Studies is accepting proposals for the Statewide Transportation Research Program, funded by the state of California through the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Senate Bill 1) and the Public Transportation Account: https://its.berkeley.edu//berkeley-strp-2021-request-propo
