Candace Brakewood

My name is Candace Brakewood, and I am an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.   This website contains information on my latest research, publications, presentations and news stories. My latest publication is a Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Synthesis on Low-Income Fare Discounts, which you can download for free at this link. For a summary of my recent research on transit ridership trends, check out a podcast I recorded with the Mobility Club that is freely available on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

From August 2025 through July 2026, I will be on Faculty Development Leave (sabbatical) in Munich, Germany conducting research as part of a Humboldt Research Fellowship.
