The US Department of Transportation awarded the City of San Francisco and its partner UC Berkeley $11 million to fund 6 innovative projects aimed at reducing traffic congestion and creating a safer and more efficient transportation system.

“We are delighted to be partners with the city of San Francisco, the Metropolitan Transportation Agency and the County Transportation Authority on this exciting grant, which will enable us to build upon the foundation we created in responding to the Department of Transportation’s Smart City Challenge earlier this year,” said Susan Shaheen, who will lead UC Berkeley’s research contributions to the projects.

Shaheen, a pioneer in shared mobility, is co-director of the Transportation Sustainability Research Center in the Institute of Transportation Studies and an adjunct professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department.
