| 2024 | Michelle Zeibots University of Technology Sydney |
Dr Michelle Zeibots is an award winning academic transport planner specialising in sustainable passenger transport. She is well-known for her advocacy on radio, television and newsprint of public transport projects over urban motorways, successfully working to change the configuration of $15B in transport projects. She has helped transform the teaching of transport engineering at UTS, with public transport operations and EV charging infrastructure now taught alongside traffic engineering to more than 350 undergraduate engineers yearly. ‘This new era of sustainable transport engineering should enable the next generation of transport engineers to build a future better than the present,’ said Dr Zeibots. |
