How UTC Prepared Me for a Career in Transportation: “The UTC provided me with an environment in which I could discuss relevant topics in transportation with creative, intellectual colleagues. This experience was incredibly valuable and challenged me to think creatively and constructively about the issues facing transportation systems across the country. More specifically, my research at UTC focused on modal integration, a key component of the Minnesota Go Transportation Vision, and put me in a position to contribute meaningfully to the development of plans and policy at MnDOT.”
