Advisory Board

The Institute of Transportation Studies depends on the involvement of leaders and experts to advance research and public education and to solve complex transportation challenges. Advisory board members actively participate in the ongoing development and promotion of UCLA ITS, ensuring that our research is timely and relevant to the policymaking, rulemaking, and practitioner communities. Some specific examples include providing guidance on program activities and research, particularly in identifying programmatic needs and useful research materials and products, participation and cosponsorship of conferences, research, and other activities congruent with their organization’s mission and goals, and assistance with distribution of research findings to relevant audiences, including agency staff or other constituencies. The ITS advisory board meets at least once each year and membership is a three-year appointment.
