Karen Frick, Program Leader

The Policy and Behavioral Research program at California PATH focuses on understanding the role, response, and impacts of advanced transportation technologies. This cross-cutting program brings together a variety of theories, methodologies, and disciplines in answering applied policy and planning questions related transportation technology use and response. Disciplines and approaches include: engineering, planning, systems and policy analysis, psychology, sociology, and business/marketing.
