The Swedish Institute, a government agency that values culture and education, administers the Swedish-American Exchange Fund for non-academic research and professional enrichment. This travel grant allows recipients to travel to Sweden for up to four weeks to generate projects in fields including public administration and the human environment.
Mr. Casey’s fellowship begins September 1, 2011 in the City of Malmo, Sweden – which is the fourth most sustainable city in the world – where he will conduct research on sustainable city planning. He will then travel to Stockholm to research their transit system and learn about their innovative transit solutions to traffic congestion.
“The Santa Monica Big Blue Bus congratulates Paul Casey for being awarded the Swedish-American Bicentennial Fellowship. While the Big Blue Bus has long benefitted from his innovative transit planning, we believe this recognition is an endorsement of his efforts and creativity,†says Joe Stitcher, Assistant Director of Transit Operations.
