The Passing of Joseph Sussman
The TRB community extends condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Joseph Sussman, a tireless TRB volunteer who served as Chair of the TRB Executive Committee in 1994. Dr. Sussman passed away on Tuesday, March 20, 2018, at the age of 79 following a long illness.
“Perhaps Joe Sussman’s greatest legacy will be the many transportation leaders who he taught and mentored during his long career,” said Neil Pedersen, TRB’s Executive Director. “He was a leader in numerous professional organizations having helped launch ITS America, and having served in many leadership roles at TRB, including as Chair of the TRB Executive Committee.”
Dr. Sussman retired from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS). Dr. Sussman, a former MIT alumnus, served as a professor at this school for more than 50 years.
