Transfers Magazine, the biannual digital magazine of the Pacific Southwest Region UTC edited by a team of UCLA faculty, staff and students, released its latest issue this month. As always, Transfers writers take on some of the most challenging and urgent issues of the day, from mitigating health inequities through transportation access, to bringing aged infrastructure into the present-day, to addressing social and racial factors that shape travel behaviors. Transfers strives to bring research out of the ivory tower and into policy and practice, where its learnings are urgently needed.
Issue 7 is dedicated to Transfers senior editor and beloved ITS professor emeritus Marty Wachs, who passed away in April. Marty approached his leadership of Transfers as he did with all his many other responsibilities — with warmth, commitment, and a strong faith in the researchers and the potential impact of their work. The Transfers staff hopes to carry this same energy and dedication forward into future issues.
