The Transportation Project varies each year and covers a variety of topics, with a focus on either design or traffic analysis. Each project involves a series of existing conditions, such as nonstandard features, lack of safety, and projected growth in traffic volume. These conditions are taken into account in a proposal and feasibility study which involves cost estimates, environmental impact analysis, and more. Past projects include the redesign of a highway intersection, analyzing the Level of Service (congestion) impact increased development will have on the surrounding community, and managing pick up/drop off congestion for Transportation Network Companies such as Uber/Lyft at LAX.
If you are interested in participating with this project, feel free to reach out to the Project Manager, Ryan Nguyen at [email protected]. General meetings will be held every Thursday from 6:00pm to 7:00pm in ECT 123.
