On March 28, 2023, C2SMART Center and NYU’s student chapter of ITE hosted the 5th Annual Women in Transportation Panel at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. The panel featured three leaders in the transportation field:

  • Haley Huston, Traffic Engineer at AKRF, Inc.
  • Nadereh Moini, Chief of Transportation at NJ Sports & Exposition Authority
  • Mira Philipson, Senior Accessibility Analyst at the MTA

The panelists shared insights about their experiences as women in a male-dominated field of work, including gender challenges in transportation, advice for overcoming those challenges, and tips for aspiring transportation engineers and planners.
