Martin Wohl
Martin Wohl, born in Greensboro, NC, was a transportation economist who grew up in the District Columbia area. During his youth, he worked as a senate page and then attended the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY right before graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He served in the Army Corps in 1950s and then received his Master’s degree from the MIT in 1960s. About five years later, he co-wrote the book ''The Urban Transportation Problem'' in 1965 with John R. Meyer and John F. Kain that made him well-known. Their book was the first book that scientifically analyzed the costs of transportation models.
A year later, he received his Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley. Then, he became an assistant professor at MIT for two years before he moved to Washington D.C., serving for Kennedy administration. After his federal service terminated, he became the director of transportation studies at the Urban Institute and three years afterwards, he was a transportation systems professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He retired in 1990, co-authored five technical books, and wrote more than 70 peer reviewed journal articles on transportation.
Speaking of his personal life, he got married three times and divorced from all of his wives. His son from his first marriage, Richard Wohl died five years after his retirement and Wohl died in 2009 from throat cancer at his home, in Annandale, VA. He was survived by his other son from his first marriage, Charles Wohl, and his two granddaughters.〔(Obituaries - Washington Post )〕
