Arlene Mathison, Director of Digital Information and Library Services at CTS, provides leadership for the Center in the delivery of projects and processes that facilitate the flow of information between CTS and researchers, professionals, students, legislative staff and others interested in transportation-related issues. This includes the delivery of communication and information products, the implementation of information management tools and technologies, the coordination of library resources, and publication distribution and promotion. In 2005, Arlene led a strategic planning process for management of the CTS Web sites, and oversaw the implementation of the recommendations from the Web strategic plan. She led the development of several program Web sites for the Center, including the Rural Highway Safety Clearinghouse, Transit Coordination, Moving Communities Forward, and the Journal for Transport and Land Use.
Prior to joining the University in 2002, Arlene held library and knowledge management positions with Goldman Sachs, Arthur Andersen, and the Dayton Hudson Corporation (now Target). She holds a master’s degree in library science from Simmons College and a bachelor of arts degree in sociology from the University of Minnesota.
