Michael D. Meyer, MITE, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA
Michael is a 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 140 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.
