His research focuses on the interplay of transportation policy and travel behavior to advance environmental sustainability and social equity. Currently, Dr. Newmark is working on an EPA funded project to explore the use of low-cost air monitoring devices in four neighborhoods in Chicago, on a USDA funded project to redefine rural food deserts, on a project to merge traffic sensor data to predict (and therefore reduce) crash risk on interstates in the Kansas City region, and on an effort to collect and share transit on-board surveys.
