Cyrus Naheedy’s internship is with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and his project’s focus is Regional Airport Ground Access Modeling. His work will be part of a larger study, the LaGuardia Airport Transit Corridor Alternatives Analysis, which is being undertaken by The New York City Department of Transportation, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Port Authority to analyze different approaches to improving transit access to LaGuardia and the surrounding communities . Cyrus will work closely with Port Authority staff to enhance the model into a more comprehensive tool that meets longer-term needs of the region. He will contribute to data preparation, model development/expansion, forecasting, and more complete implementation of the model in a transportation GIS environment.
