American Associauon State Highway "Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the
automotive industry. Thismork has .included "the technical conceptualization, strategic
" definition, and development of advanced transportation and vehicle systems. I recently
completed a ,major project working with the auto industry and-the US DOT to develop an a
system to improve safety and mobility by providing vehicle; to- vehicle and vehicle -to- roadside
communications :technology (;IntelliDrive). I am currently engaged in two related projects: We
are a subcontractor onthe i680 High Occupancy Toll „(HOT)'°Lanes °project sponsored by MTC
where we, ,will be developing an advanced transportation test bed to support evaluation of new
technologies to support the MTC HOT Lanes. We are also engaged in a long range
multidi5ciplihary' project in 'partnership with the UC Berkeley Transportation Sustainability
Research Center to develop ,a research plan for a multimodal Integrated Adaptive
Transportation System (TATS). This project is funded by the FHWA T rner - Fairbank Highway

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California,
Irvine, and a Masters Degree in'Electronic Engineering from Stanford University.

I have 'a deep understanding of the issues surrounding transportation systems. This includes
the technological aspects as well as the non- technical barriers and motivations that impact the
implementation of such projects.,,As a result I feel I bring an_ informed view to the assesment
and recommendation process, and. would add substantial value `to the work of the committee.
Having' recently moved to the area - from the Silicon Valley area, tarn keenly aware of the need
to balance effective transport, which. is .needed to support economic viability, with
environmental, growth and quality of life concerns. - To be truly effective any transportation
system must not only meet the needs of the citizens, it serves,'it must also fit gracefuly.into the
local, environment, the existing1r.ansportation infrastructure, and the sensibilities of the local
users and residents.

I am_ founder and Techical Partner of a small engineering consulting firm in Petaluma. Our
firm.,is engaged in projects aimed at improving transportation mobility and safety. I am also
engaged in formal research work to better understand the complex interplay between social,
political,- .economic and ;legal (SPEL) constraints relative to the deployemnt of new
technologically d "riven transportation systems. I feel this depth will enhance the insight of the
Committee.
