As a college senior and during my first year of graduate studies in Land Development, I worked as a research assistant with Texas Transportation Institute (TTI). Now Texas A&M Transportation Institute, TTI is the largest transportation research agency in the United States addressing all modes of transportation–highway, air, water, rail and pipeline. Some of the work performed during my employment were traffic counts along urban Interstate Highways, and digitizing one of the first computer simulations of a transit system for the Houston metropolitan area.
