Robert Poole
Transportation
Robert Poole is the founder, and was the long-time president, of the Reason Foundation, a nonprofit think tank advancing free minds and free markets.
Poole has advised the last four presidential administrations on privatization and transportation policy.
Poole's 1988 policy paper proposing privately financed toll lanes to relieve congestion directly inspired California's landmark private tollway law (AB 680), which authorized four pilot toll projects including the successful 91 Express Lanes in Orange County. More than 20 other states and the federal government have since enacted similar public-private partnership legislation.
Poole earned his B.S. and M.S. in mechanical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and did graduate work in operations research at New York University.
