Transportation Equity Education – Study Invitation

We are reaching out to request your participation in a brief survey regarding Transportation Equity Education in urban planning and engineering programs across the U.S. The goal of the survey is to understand and document notable practices of curriculum development and interdisciplinary training related to transportation equity in engineering and planning schools/programs across the U.S. The research is sponsored by the USDOT through the STRIDE University Transportation Center and emphasizes promoting transportation equity through curriculum interventions. The aim of this project is to use the existing body of knowledge (including toolkits and measures centering on transportation equity) to develop educational materials for transportation engineering and planning graduate programs across the U.S.  

 The research team will use Qualtrics to conduct the survey. There are no risks or discomforts anticipated and all of your answers will remain confidential. The survey will take 3 to 5 minutes to complete and your participation is voluntary. You are free to withdraw your consent and to stop participating in this study at any time. If you do withdraw your consent, you will not be penalized in any way and you will not lose any benefits to which you are entitled. If you have any questions regarding your rights as a research participant, please contact Dr. Mehri M. Mohebbi at mmohebbi@ufl.edu (Principal Investigator) or the UF IRB-02 office at 352-392-0433.

(PDH’s) Muscle Wall – Portable Stormwater, Erosion & Flood Control Complimentary Virtual Presentations

I am reaching out to share the new Muscle Wall Lunch & Learn series for your stormwater design engineers who work on stormwater, erosion, and flood control design projects. These are complementary presentations we can do virtually for you and your team.

 Please let me know if you would like to schedule or if you have any questions. 

 View or Download the Flyer

Each virtual webinar qualifies as 1 PDH credit and complimentary lunch is available for in-office attendees. The topics include:

·         Portable Stormwater Management (1-PDH)

·         Portable Flood Control (1-PDH)

·         Portable Coastal & Post Fire Erosion Control (1-PDH)

 Muscle Wall is a portable barrier primarily used to contain or divert water. However, our customers have found Muscle Wall to be a useful tool with many other applications as well. Take a look at some of the applications that Muscle Wall has been used for.
