Gauri Jumde, a Master’s of Urban Planning candidate at NYU, will also intern at NYMTC for the preparation of Regional Bicycle – Pedestrian Handbook. The project will result in a best practices document to illustrate successful projects in the NYMTC area that enhance mobility, safety, sustainability, and economic development. Gauri’s main responsibility will be to assist in defining the improvement strategies, provide the research on what is working, illustrate successful regional projects, describe the fund sources that were used, and possibly to describe how the project was conceived and the path to construction. This handbook will serve as a type of catalog that planners could use for reference when they are developing projects and applying for funding. Gauri’s supervisor at NYMTC is Larry McAuliffe, Manager of Sustainability.
