Part 1: Long-term impacts of COVID-19 on mobility and travel behaviour

Patricia Mokhtarian is the Clifford and William Greene, Jr. Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She joined Georgia Tech in 2013, after 23 years at the University of California, Davis and nine years in regional planning and con-sulting in Southern California. She earned her PhD at Northwestern University. Dr. Mokh¬tarian is a National Associate of the U.S. National Academies, Past Chair of the International Association for Travel Behaviour Research (IATBR), and the 2021 recipient of the IATBR Lifetime Achievement Award. She serves on the editorial boards of eight transportation journals. Sangho Choo has been a professor in the Department of Urban Design and Planning at Hongik University since 2010. Before joining the faculty, he worked for about ten years at the Korea Transport Institute and was the director of Korea Transport Database (KTDB) Center from 2008 to 2010. He earned a Ph.D. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Davis and received the C.V. Wootan Award for the best Ph.D. dissertation on transportation planning and policy in 2005. Dr. Choo has specialized in the study of transportation planning, travel behavior, and big data for more than 25 years. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 refereed journal articles. Veronique Van Acker is a Research Scientist at the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER, since 2016) where she is heading the research theme ‘Living with urban dynamics’ of the Urban Development and Mobility department. She is also a Guest Professor at the Department of Geography of Ghent University (since 2017) where she teaches courses on Spatial Analysis. Before joining LISER, she has worked as an Assistant Professor in Urban Studies at the University of Amsterdam (2013-2016) and as a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University (2010-2016). She obtained her PhD in Geography from Ghent University in 2010. Her PhD has been awarded the Eric Pas Dissertation Prize 2010 by the International Association for Travel Behaviour Research (IATBR), the BIVEC-GIBET PhD Award 2011 by BIVEC-GIBET, and the Mercator-Ortelius Prize 2014 by the University of Antwerp. She also received the Fred Burggraf Award 2015 by the Transportation Research Board for her conference paper on lifestyles and travel behaviour, as well as the PSLUT Best Paper Award on Sustainable Land-Use/Transport Solutions 2010 by the European Transport Conference for her conference paper on objective and spatial influences of modal choice. Veronique has been a visiting research fellow at the University of Sydney (with Prof. Dr. Corinne Mulley, 2015), University of California at Davis (with Prof. Dr. Patricia Mokhtarian, 2008), and Delft University of Technology (with Prof. Dr. Bert van Wee, 2006). Her research interests include the interaction between the built environment and travel behaviour, lifestyles and attitudes in relation to mobility, differences in mobility attitudes and behaviour between generations, and how early experiences affect travel habits. Her current research focuses on travel satisfaction and subjective well-being. She uses a life-oriented approach by considering the interactions between satisfaction with multiple life domains and not only travel. More specifically, she studies the role of commuting satisfaction in changing commuting, residential and work-related attitudes, behaviour and satisfaction over a person’s life course. Her research has been published in leading academic journals such as the International Journal of Sustainable Transportation, Journal of Transport Geography, Transportation, and Transport Reviews.
