Ann Hartell

Welcome!

My research and professional interests focused on the interactions between transportation and the social and economic processes in households and urban systems, with an emphasis on applied research relevant for the transportation sector. Additional work explored topics of equity, environmental justice, sustainability, social indicators, and economic resiliency.

I hold a doctorate in socio-economics from the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien/Vienna University of Economics and Business (Austria), a Masters in City and Regional Planning from the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, and a BA in Geography from the University of Kentucky.  I’m also a proud alum of the Architectural Technology program at the Bluegrass Community and Technical College (Kentucky).

A grey concrete bridge through a lake. There are bicycle handlebars in the foreground. Grass and trees surround the lake.
A concrete bridge goes diagonally through the photo. The bridge is below the surface of the lake it crosses. A person on a bicycle is on bridge. There are trees on the edge of the water in the background.

A bucket list place: the Cycling Through Water bridge. This thing is just as awesome as it looks. Any town in Minnesota looking to up their cycling tourism game probably has a nearby site for one of these!
A paved cycle path passes by a row of trees and shrubs. A white house with a red tile roof is behind the shrubs. A windmill is in the distance on the right side.
A paved cycle path goes between a metal railing on the right and a line of shrubs on the left. A row of buildings is on the left side of the photo and a windmill is in the distance on the right.

A nifty canal-side route from Brugge to Damme (~4 km). There were a few tourists, but a lot more locals and commuters using this. Shrubs make for a nice barrier.
A bridge over water with blue rails. A viewing tower is in the upper left of the photo.
A blue and white traffic counting device is in front of a bridge. In front of the counter is permeable concrete grid with some grass. Above the counter is a solar panel. The counter shows 841 bicycles crossed the bridge the day the photo was taken; 135,607 crossed to date this year.

Some fabulous cycling infrastructure from a recent trip to Belgium. Dramatic bridge over the Albert Canal locks at Hasselt. Does it get used? Counter says yes. (The 1 in 841 was me and it wasn't even lunchtime yet.) #fietsparadis
