Guest Lecture, Caltrans Field Trip and Prefumo Canyon Bike Ride

This week in CE 527 Sustainable Mobility, we were thrilled to have a guest presentation from Chris Pangilinan, of the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Chris talked about his experiences with open transit data, discussed principles of universal design and also offered some career advice to our students - a great opportunity to see and hear from Chris! Also CE 423 had a wonderful field trip to the Caltrans District 5 Traffic Management Center here in San Luis Obispo - we are grateful to Jacques Van Zeventer for hosting us! There was also a great bike ride up Prefumo Canyon with several transportation students: Jerry Tran, Edward Tang, Alex Chambers and Seitu Coleman. Beautiful views!
