Dr. Dill teaches courses in transportation policy, transportation and land use,
and planning methods. Her research interests focus on transportation and
environmental planning, travel behavior, air quality, and transportation-land
use interactions. She is interested in answering these questions: How do people
make their travel and location decisions? How do those decisions impact the
environment and people's health? How do our planning decisions impact people's
travel and location decisions? Two current research projects focus on bicycling
and transit-oriented developments. Dr. Dill has also conducted extensive
research on travel behavior and older vehicles, evaluating the air quality
impacts of voluntary accelerated vehicle retirement programs. Prior to entering
academia, she worked as an environmental and transportation planner.
