Zmud heads RAND transportation program
Research firm RAND Corp. has appointed Johanna Zmud to director of its Transportation, Space and Technology program.
Zmud has 25 years of experience in studying travel behavior, road pricing, freight and commodity flows, transportation data programs, and the intersection of transportation and information-communication technologies, RAND said.
She is also incoming chair of the Policy and Organization Group of the National Academies' Transportation Research Board, and serves as co-chair of the TRB's Special Task Force on Data for Decisions and Performance Measures.
Prior to joining RAND as a senior policy researcher in August 2010, Zmud was founding owner and president of NuStats, a company specializing in complex social research studies of transportation, mobility and other quality-of-life issues.
Zmud succeeds Martin Wachs, who will continue part-time as a RAND researcher and will teach at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.
