MURP Student Chelsea Richer Awarded the Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway
Administration has awarded the Dwight David Eisenhower Transportation
Fellowship to first year UCLA MURP student Chelsea Richer. The award,
established as part of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of
1991, recognizes students pursuing transportation-related degrees and aims to
attract the brightest minds in the field to the transportation workforce. Ms.
Richer is interested in the ways in which transportation planning and disaster
planning overlap, particularly in regard to their effects on the social fabric
of a city and the environmental intensity of the transportation sector.
