Michael D. Meyer, MITE, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA
Michael is a retired professor of civil and
environmental engineering, and former Chair of the School of Civil and
Environmental Engineering
at the Georgia Institute of Technology. From 1983 to 1988, Dr. Meyer was
Director of Transportation Planning and Development for
Massachusetts where he was responsible for statewide planning, project
development, traffic engineering, and transportation research. Prior to
this, he was a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at
M.I.T. Dr. Meyer has been involved with transportation planning,
project development, engineering design and environmental analysis
issues at the federal, state, and local levels in his capacity as a
state DOT official and through his research. Meyer has written over 200
technical articles and has authored or co-authored numerous texts
on transportation planning and policy, including a college textbook for
McGraw Hill entitled Urban Transportation Planning: A Decision Oriented
Approach. He currently serves as senior advisor for Parsons
