Christine Yager is a human factors specialist, transportation safety researcher, and expert witness with more than 13 years of professional experience in driver behavior, distracted driving, hazard perception, visibility, and roadway user decision-making. She specializes in analyzing how drivers perceive, process, and respond to information in the moments leading up to crashes, including issues involving driver attention, perception-response time, visibility and conspicuity, pedestrian interactions, and young or novice driver performance.

Throughout her career, Christine has led and supported human factors research involving driving simulators, instrumented vehicles, eye-tracking systems, controlled-visibility laboratory testing, closed-course evaluations, observational studies, and large-scale behavioral surveys. Her work has examined the effects of distracted driving, driver workload, traffic control device visibility, nighttime roadway conditions, pedestrian and bicyclist safety, work zone safety, and the safety impacts of emerging transportation technologies.

Christine currently serves as an Associate Research Scientist with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI). She has managed multi-year research programs sponsored by organizations including the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), National Safety Council, and private industry partners. She has authored numerous technical reports and peer-reviewed publications on distracted driving and driver performance and presented her research to national audiences, including testimony before the Texas Senate Transportation Committee regarding distracted driving legislation.

Today, Christine serves as a Human Factors Expert Witness with Evidence Solutions, Inc. Her combination of research, transportation safety, and human factors expertise allows her to provide clear, scientifically grounded analyses in cases involving driver behavior, distraction, hazard detection, perception-response time, visibility, and roadway user interactions.
