Area Leader
Ms. Geiselbrecht is conducting extensive research to support the Policy Research Center of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute. She is the area leader for the Public Engagement focus area. Research in this area includes development and testing of outreach materials to produce clear, creative and credible outreach and education materials in a variety of forms that will help to inform and enlighten the state's transportation consumers, and support efforts to build consensus on how best to address the state's transportation needs, and how to pay for those needs. Additional research efforts under the center include implementation of a longitudinal tracking survey of Texans, the design of which facilitates a means to not only quantify public opinion of Texans (statewide), but also track the manner in which these attitudes change over time and affect their behavior.
