APTA Members Receive TRB Awards
|
Leaders of two APTA member organizations received national awards from the Transportation Research Board (TRB) during its 95th Annual Meeting, recently concluded in Washington, DC.
Kirk Steudle, director, Michigan DOT, received the 2015 W.N. Carey Jr. Distinguished Service Award for his outstanding leadership to TRB and transportation research, and Lance Neumann, chairman, Cambridge Systematics, received the 2015 Roy W. Crum Distinguished Service Award in recognition of his achievements in transportation research.
 Steudle is immediate past chair of the TRB Executive Committee, and he also served as chair or vice chair of six other TRB committees, panels and task forces. He helped oversee the development and adoption of a new strategic plan and TRB’s efforts in promoting research into connected and automated vehicles, among many other initiatives.
|  Neumann has a 40-year career in leading research and implementation activities focused on performance management, asset management, multimodal planning and data-driven investment programming and project selection. In addition, he has led Cambridge Systematics for 25 years, overseeing planning, policy research and implementation, among many other areas.
As Passenger Transport reported in the Nov. 16, 2015 issue, Carol Lewis, Department of Transportation Studies, Texas Southern University, won the 2016 Sharon D. Banks Humanitarian Leadership in Transportation Award. Banks was general manager of AC Transit until her death in 1999.
