Edward C. Sullivan , Ph.D. Transportation Engineering, UC Berkeley. Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, where he provides instruction in traffic engineering, urban transportation planning, systems analysis, and introductory engineering design. He has been with Cal Poly since 1989. There, he has directed numerous research and public service contracts, mostly for Caltrans and the federal DOT. Prior to 1989, he was a research engineer at the Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Berkeley, and a lecturer for the Berkeley Civil Engineering Dept. Beyond his university activities, he has taught and consulted in transportation engineering and planning in this country and abroad, including China, South America, Africa, and India. He is a member of American Society of Civil Engineers, the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Transportation Research Board, and the American Society for Engineering Education. He has authored numerous technical articles and reports on transportation safety, innovative road pricing, transportation systems analysis, and modeling.

James Daly is a professor of statistics at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and is presently serving as chair of the Statistics Department. He received his B.S. in Mathematics from Gonzaga University, and his Ph.D. in Statistics from Oregon State University. He has been on the faculty at Cal Poly for 32 years. His statistical area of expertise is in the field of generalized linear models. He has worked with Ed Sullivan on a number of transportation projects including studies involving HOV lane safety, incident detection issues on urban freeways, evaluation of the operational impacts of a Variable-toll express lane facility, and the safety of trees in narrow medians.
