The Richards Transportation Initiative at Penn: Launch Event

Celebrate the official launch of the Richards Transportation Initiative at Penn (R-TRIP)—a new, university-wide center that connects academic research with the practical challenges facing transportation systems across the country.

Hosted in the beautiful Widener Lecture Hall at the Penn Museum, this event brings together top minds from across disciplines and sectors for an engaging morning of panels, student showcases, and interactive discussions.

We’ll explore themes like innovation in transportation culture, the growing role of AI in infrastructure, and public-private partnerships driving change.

The event culminates with a fireside chat featuring Leigh Palmer, Vice President of Google Public Sector, with questions submitted by Penn students.

Lunch will be provided at 12:00PM
