Greg shares Lisa’s passion that the TRC’s work should promote well-being in Vermont and beyond by conducting impactful research, managing innovative outreach programs, and supporting UVM student education. Watch for the TRC to continue engaging with local and national stakeholders on the transportation challenges of small and rural communities, transportation sustainability and climate change solutions, and promoting equity and social justice in transportation policy and investment decisions.
