Short Biography

Dr. Lomax has been extensively involved in urban mobility research for more than 30 years. He is part of a team that developed and applied a methodology to assess areawide traffic congestion levels and congestion costs. The Urban Mobility Report includes information on 90 cities throughout the U.S. and examines trends in urban area mobility and documents the effect of transportation investments. Dr. Lomax has also been involved in developing and evaluating a wide range of solutions to mobility problems, including high-occupancy vehicle facilities, and in improving decision-making processes and performance measurement. He has also played a role in several regional and statewide congestion analyses that examined the benefits of transportation improvements and the cost of addressing congestion. [more]

He has been invited to make presentations on congestion, mobility and performance measure issues to a variety of groups including the Transportation Research Board, the Institute of Transportation Engineers and state and local governments in the U.S. He has testified before subcommittees of the U.S. and Texas House of Representatives and Senate on mobility issues. He has appeared on radio and television network news shows and many newspapers, radio and television stations in major cities covered in the mobility report.
