Robert Schneider, Assistant Professor

Bio
Robert Schneider is an Assistant Professor with practical and research experience in the sustainable transportation field. He teaches a pedestrian and bicycle planning course and contributes to national and local research projects on data collection, safety, facility evaluation, and demand analysis for active transportation modes. His dissertation explored how people choose between pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and automobile modes for routine travel.

Between 2001 and 2007, Robert worked for Toole Design Group, LLC, assisting with pedestrian and bicycle planning projects in communities such as Washington, DC, Rockville, MD, Alexandria, VA, Greensboro, NC, and Seattle, WA. His research in the sustainable transportation field builds on this practical experience. Robert is Vice Chair of the Transportation Research Board Committee on Pedestrians, currently leading the Paper Review Subcommittee and formerly leading the Research Subcommittee.
