I am honored, proud, and excited to begin my new role as the Director of the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) and Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of South Florida. CUTR has a long history of being a national leader in public transportation and multimodal transportation research, education and technology transfer and I look forward to being a part of CUTR's next chapter! I truly appreciate the warm welcome! http://www.usf.edu/engineering/documents/08182016-robert-bertini.pdf
