Congratulations to Transportation Sustainability Research Center (TSRC) survey researchers Jacquelyn Broader and Adam Cohen on earning spot Staff Appreciation and Recognition Awards!
Jacquelyn Broader, a Survey Researcher II, earned her Spot Award in recognition of her outstanding efforts in advancing transportation research on shared mobility, mobility on demand, accessible transportation, and other emerging innovations.
Within the past year, Jacquelyn was the primary researcher on four projects; and co-authored numerous USDOT, Caltrans, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) studies, including a Mobility on Demand Planning and Implementation Guide, four USDOT White Papers, and a NCHRP Shared Automated Vehicle Policy Toolkit.
At a time when TSRC needed to close out numerous, simultaneous projects, Jacquelyn demonstrated that she is exceptional at multi-tasking and working on a large portfolio of projects, has offered to work long hours to ensure research partner deadlines are met, and is always quick to volunteer for more responsibilities.
Jacquelyn has also been instrumental in helping plan and implement numerous TSRC workshops and events, including a state workshop for policymakers at the California legislature. Because of her skills, knowledge, willingness to help others, and dedication to our university's mission, Jacquelyn has not only earned this Spot nomination but the respect and gratitude of her colleagues, project partners, and peers at TSRC.
Adam Cohen, a Survey Researcher IV, earned his Spot Award in recognition of his outstanding efforts in advancing transportation research on Shared Mobility, Urban Air Mobility, Mobility on Demand, and other emerging innovations.
Within the past year, Adam managed eight projects; and co-authored numerous USDOT, Caltrans, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) studies, including a Shared Mobility Policy Toolkit, a Mobility on Demand Planning and Implementation Guide, four USDOT White Papers, and a NCHRP Shared Automated Vehicle Policy Toolkit.
Adam also represented UC Berkeley at numerous events including: guest lecturing at the University of Toronto and the University of Paris-Saclay, co-organizing two Transportation Research Board (TRB) full-day workshops, and organizing a workshop on Modal Access to California Rail Stations at the California Legislature. Adam is also serving as a volunteer editor for the Transportation Research Record (Journal of the Transportation Research Board).
Adam strives to use as many available opportunities to represent UC Berkeley. Because of these efforts, Adam has not only earned this Spot nomination but the respect and gratitude of his colleagues, project partners, and peers at TSRC.
