The nation is preparing for seismic changes in transportation and UWM secured a role at the table in February with a $1.67 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to advance research and education programs that address a specific challenge: promoting pedestrian and bicycle safety.
Robert Schneider (pictured, left) and Xiao Qin (pictured, right) will contribute to the Center for Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety, a DOT-funded, Tier 1 University Transportation Center (UTC), as members of a team led by the University of New Mexico. Schneider is a professor of urban planning in UWM’s School of Architecture & Urban Planning. Qin is a Lawrence E. Sivak ’71 professor of civil & environmental engineering in CEAS. More.
