Assistant Professor of City and Regional Planning Andre Carrel has received a Faculty Early Career Development award from the National Science Foundation.

Carrel intends for his work to help transit agencies and city and regional planners make better-informed decisions regarding the funding, design and implementation of future transit projects. “All decisions about major transportation infrastructure projects fundamentally rely on forecasts of travel behavior impacts – for example, to understand how many travelers will use a new facility or system,” he explained. “Improving the realism and long-term accuracy of the travel demand models that underpin such forecasts is key to ensuring that we are investing wisely in the future of our nation’s transportation network.”
