Grengs Elected ACSP Treasurer

Assistant Professor Joe Grengs was recently elected Treasurer of The Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP). Grengs will officially be taking the role of ACSP Treasurer on April 3, 2016, and will complete the Fall 2017 term. Grengs joins colleague June Manning Thomas, Centennial Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, on the executive board. Thomas will serve as ACSP president through October 2016. 

Grengs is the Director of Doctoral Studies in Urban and Regional Planning as well as a certified planner and a registered professional engineer with work experience in both the private and public sectors, and in international settings. Grengs’ research focuses on transportation planning and how metropolitan land-use patterns contribute to uneven economic development and social disparities. His work argues for improving transportation systems by shifting from mobility to accessibility as the primary criterion by which transportation policy is evaluated.
