If you are attending #TRBAM2024 in Washington DC and are interested in transportation research on developing countries, check out this great line-up of activities hosted by AME40: https://t.co/1VRHIFMDL1
#Logistics and #FreightTransport already account for around 10% of global #GHGemissions. Without action, emissions will continue to rise, with much of the growth coming from developing countries. Here's what governments can do to change this trajectory: https://t.co/p8TRs6lzNp
The path to low-carbon #urbantransport is different for cities in developed and developing countries. New report with @Bianca_Balves & @lamaBM explains why walking, public transport, and goods demand management are priorities for green and inclusive cities https://t.co/DvScrPJUxo
It was a pleasure to hear Dr. Okonjo-Iweala speak at the MIT commencement ceremony. She highlighted that technology can help us in our fight against poverty and climate change but that public policy surrounding that technology diffusion is even more critical for inclusivity
Great honour to be the 2022 @MIT Commencement Speaker. Spoke on the intersection of science, social science and public policy in solving todays global problems. With President Rafael Reif, @MITEcon Faculty, @MITdusp Faculty and Doctoral Students.
Excited to be facilitating our Leaders in Urban Transport Planning #LUTP Program with 5 Turkish Municipalities and national stakeholders. The mutual learning starts tomorrow!
On May 24-25-26 Leaders in Urban Transport Planning Program will be launching a Workshop with Turkish municipalities to discuss urban transport challenges in cities: https://t.co/hrWL4muzXC
@WorldBankTurkey; @WBG_Transport; @EUDelegationTur
Event runs February 16-17 with a special overnight (DC time) session for Asia-Pacific!
I'm particularly excited for all the sessions on typically underrepresented topics of climate action for the transport sector like adaptation and mitigation for freight and logistics systems.
What are some of the key solutions that can make transport greener, more inclusive, and more resilient? Follow the #TTDC22 conversation to hear from global experts & share your ideas. There is still time to register!

Mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) can improve travel experiences *and* serve as a tool for governments to better plan, organize, and price different mobility services. New report on how MaaS technology interacts with transport supply, demand, and governance in developing countries.
MaaS empowers users to access the most optimal mode (or modes) of travel on a trip-by-trip basis. To achieve this, MaaS provides a simplifying link between users and mobility services, often via a technology-enabled platform https://t.co/F6vXjFKXQ1 via @WBG_Transport
People living in cities have more mobility options than ever before; but greater complexity and fragmentation of services comes at a cost to cities and their residents. Mobility-as-a-service as a multimodal governance framework can help. New @WBG_Transport report has more!

Enjoyed sharing my research on "car pride" and how attitudes influence car ownership and use behaviors in MENA and the U.S. Check out the newest episode of the @CEBC2 #podcast on future mobility with @mitenergy:
https://t.co/VUOLWJoPnR
🔊A new CEBC MENA podcast episode is out!
In this episode, we discuss the people's mobility behavior in the US and the MENA regions and how different they are and the so-called "Car Pride" across the US and the MENA countries and how it is constructed.
Today is my last day at @mitenergy Mobility Systems Center. It has been a fantastic journey and the start of many life-long friendships and collaborations.
Saying goodbye is hard, but I am thrilled to be joining @WBG_Transport on their transportation decarbonization agenda!
