About the Dean
Genevieve Giuliano is the interim dean and Distinguished Professor of Public Policy and Ferraro Chair in Effective Local Government at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy.
Giuliano has extensive leadership experience. She served as the USC Price School’s first associate dean for research and helped establish crucial infrastructure, including the Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics. For more than 20 years, she directed the METRANS Transportation Consortium and built it into one of the nation’s top transportation research organizations.
She also lends her expertise to numerous transportation task forces and committees in the Los Angeles region, and in areas as diverse as freight movement, traffic mitigation, and clean vehicle technologies. She has served on several National Academy of Science policy studies, including the NAS Committee on Global Climate Change.
Her research spans relationships between land use and transportation, transportation policy analysis, travel behavior, and sustainable transportation. She has published more than 200 papers and has received multiple distinguished scholarship awards. She is a Fellow in Regional Science.
Giuliano is an innovator in her field. She was among the first to study gender differences in travel behavior and later to partner with computer science and engineering to explore land use and freight transportation relationships.
She participated in the first study of impacts of global climate change on the U.S. transportation system. At the state level, she is working with Caltrans and CARB on the implementation of the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan and subsequent legislation to reduce GHGs associated with California’s freight industry.
