As part of their master’s degree requirements, students in the Luskin School of Public Affairs complete yearlong capstone projects on behalf of professional clients on a wide range of topics.
The UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies supports capstone projects that address important transportation-related issues. Every spring, UCLA ITS also gives awards to students who complete exceptional research products. In the past, student projects have been meaningful to their clients as well as the larger transportation field.
UCLA ITS recognized seven projects this year. The Capstone Grand Prize went to Monisha Reginald, MURP ’24 for her work on shade and lighting at bus stops in Los Angeles. The Excellence in a Transportation Equity & Justice Capstone Prize went to Carolyn Pugh, MURP ’24 for her case study analysis of a freeway removal project in Rochester, New York.
