Marty was one of those people who leaves a lasting mark, in his case particularly in the field of transportation. He was someone with the rare ability and desire to make each and every person, regardless of viewpoint, feel heard, understood, and important, in the classroom, on research projects, in his many publications, in his contribution to societies, to the profession, to policy, to policy-makers, and beyond. He will truly be missed and forever appreciated for making the world a better place.

"Wrapped in wha...t otherwise would be a traditional infrastructure bill is what I would call a light Green New Deal, he said. University of Southern California
