Choudhary has worked with transit and transportation agencies across the country to plan, deploy and promote innovative mobility solutions. Her leadership and skillset infuse all project stages, from planning and concept development through testing and deployment. Leveraging a network of resources from across the United States, Choudhary recently led the State of Ohio’s CV/AV Systems Engineering Analysis and helped develop the nation’s first statewide systems engineering guidebook for CV/AV technology deployments.

Choudhary holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from New York University.
