NYU Wagner

Who We Are

The Rudin Center comprises more than a dozen on-staff researchers, a diverse team of visiting scholars and practitioners, and faculty fellows drawn from a broad range of disciplines who connect the Center with the latest ideas and activities in the transportation world and beyond. Established connections with leaders throughout the field are an invaluable resource for the Center’s work.

In addition, the NYU Wagner Rudin Center benefits from a strong relationship with several of the New York metro area's prominent academic and research institutions including the University Transportation Research Center at City College, CUNY; Polytechnic University of NYU; and the Regional Plan Association (RPA). Through these and other partnerships, the Rudin Center can expand its knowledge and resource base as well as increase its community outreach.
