The Transportation Sustainability Research Center Mourns Director Alex Farrell

Professor Alex Farrell was an inspirational leader, researcher, and teacher. We feel privileged to have worked so closely with him in launching the TSRC.

TSRC staff and students are deeply saddened by Alex's sudden death. The loss of his vision, energy, and enthusiasm is profound. In moving forward at TSRC, we are dedicated to continuing our focus upon sustainable transportation research and education, building upon the solid foundation that Alex provided.

Tim Lipman, Acting Co-Director
Susan Shaheen, Acting Co-Director

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions in Farrell's memory be made to the Alex Farrell Memorial Scholarship Fund, Energy and Resources Group, 310 Barrows Hall, #3050, Berkeley, CA 94720-3050. Please make checks out to "Regents of the University of California."
