David Matthew Levinson (born 1967) is an American civil engineer and transportation analyst, currently a professor at the University of Minnesota, where he holds the RP Braun/CTS Chair in Transportation. He has authored or co-authored 4 books, edited 3 collected volumes, and authored or co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles on various aspects of transportation.[1] His most widely cited works[2] are on transportation accessibility and on the travel time budget. He has developed models of the co-evolution of transport and land use systems, demonstrating mutual causality empirically.[3] He is a founder of the World Society for Transport and Land Use Research.[4] In 1995 he was awarded the Charles Tiebout prize in Regional Science by the Western Regional Science Association,[5] and in 2004, the CUTC-ARTBA New Faculty Award.[6] His travel behavior research was featured in the book Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt.
Levinson is the director of the Metropolitan Travel Survey Archive and editor of the Journal of Transport and Land Use. He is also the chair of streets.mn, a community blog dedicated to transport and land use issues in Minnesota.
