Event description

The UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies welcomes incoming and returning students, faculty, and staff for the start of the 2024-2025 academic year. We aim to support a community of transportation scholars and provide students with resources, such as travel and research project support and transportation programming. Thus, we want to begin the year with a celebration to help our community get to know one another and to welcome the transition from Brian D. Taylor to Adam Millard-Ball as the Director of the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies. 

Taylor has led UCLA ITS since 2001, playing a critical role in the institute’s expansion. Under his tenure, UCLA ITS has transformed from a small operation with limited staff and resources into a nationally influential research center with more than 75 scholars and staff conducting cutting-edge research in eight program areas. Incoming Director Adam Millard-Ball brings a wealth of experience in data science and climate change policy. He joined the UCLA Luskin School in 2021 and has recently served as acting director of UCLA ITS during the 2022-23 academic year. In that time, Millard-Ball oversaw the TRACtion: Transformative Research and Collaboration initiative, which brought together academic researchers and community advocates to identify barriers to a just and sustainable future for Los Angeles.

Please join us in hearing words from the UCLA ITS leadership and enjoying light appetizers and beverages with like-minded scholars.
