JTL: A Mobility Lab

Urban mobility research group @MITdusp. Behavioral Sciences ∩ Human Mobility ∩ Transport Policy. Active in #China #India #NorthAmerica

[MIT Transit Lab @MITTransitLab]

Our students (with @mitmobility @MITdusp) have been presenting recent findings and learning about cutting-edge public transport research in Spain.

Thanks to @MISTIatMIT @La_UPM Global Seed Fund for supporting this opportunity for cross-cultural learning and exchange.

Full schedule of our lightning talks, presentations, and posters at #TRBAM2023 #TRBAM !

[U.S. DOT Research and Technology @Research_USDOT]

Our #AmazingUTCs are popular! A record 230 UTC Grant Competition applications were received by the 8/25 deadline!

[MIT Urban Planning @mitdusp.bsky.social @MITdusp]

In his thesis, #dusp alum Rubén Morgan (MCP '21) uses @MBTA #data to explore how outreach, pricing, & employer-based strategies could restore & attract new ridership for #publictransit #mobility in a post #Covid_19 era. More via @mitlibraries Dspace- https://t.co/GinbiWIgo7

Yesterday, some of our lab members enjoyed an opening-day ride on the Green Line Extension #GLX 🚊

My first byline! Op-ed for @EnoTrans: Preparing transit for the Future of Work.

“Remote work” has become synonymous with “working from home” [...], but there are plenty of compelling alternatives, each with their own implications for transportation.

[Nick Caros @nick_caros]

Excited to share our ongoing research on remote work locations, with Xiaotong Guo and Jinhua Zhao at @MITTransitLab @mitmobility. We find that about a third of all remote work happens away from home, which has significant implications for urban mobility.

[Nick Caros @nick_caros]

Presenting 3 posters at #TRBAM this year - please stop by and say hi! Research on public transit performance measurement, equity and ride-hailing matching algorithms.

I’ll be in Poster Hall A until 5:30PM today (ride-hailing), and from 8:00-9:30AM tomorrow (public transit).

[JTL: A Mobility Lab @mitmobility]

Our joint @thehill op-ed with @CSHub_MIT: Infrastructure investment is here — how can we spend it wisely?

"Leading transportation departments and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are today implementing accessibility-based performance planning."

[MIT IDSS @mitidss]

IDSS affiliate Jinhua Zhao discusses how ridership on public transit, electrification of vehicles, and ride-sharing have changed due to the #pandemic — and what the post-pandemic future of #transportation might look like around the world. https://t.co/Koc5hdLSTM

[MIT Transit Lab @MITTransitLab]

Excited to share the stage with other finalists in the 3rd Annual Innovations in Transit Performance Measurement Challenge at #TRBAM

[tamika butler is @tamikabutler.bsky.social @TamikaButler]

About to get started and so excited to see people from all over the United States and the world (Nepal, China, Colombia, Turkey, Ecuador, Nigeria, India, and Switzerland just to name a few)!!! Thanks for hosting me @MIT!

[JTL: A Mobility Lab @mitmobility]

Professor Jinhua Zhao, director of @mitmobility and @MITTransitLab, is on the program tomorrow morning (Spotlight on Transit Data / Analytics Labs) and Thursday (New Data Sources: Perspectives and Challenges)

[MIT Transit Lab @MITTransitLab]

Underway with the first day of @2020Transit - plenary discussion with @brendonhemily and @MITTransitLab's Nigel Wilson

[MIT Urban Planning @mitdusp.bsky.social @MITdusp]

Ride-sharing apps are ubiquitous in cities around the world, but despite their explosive growth it is unclear if they substitute for or complement #publictransport. @MIT's Hui Kong, Jinhua Zhao, & Xiaohu Zhang examine a case study in Chengdu, China. More- https://t.co/01G6TXidMa

[Steve Koczela @skoczela]

@BarrFdn Here's how previous MA users of each mode say they will shift. Net mode shift (% who say use more - % who say use less). Less group / shared modes. More individual trips. New MA poll. https://t.co/UMBHIExmP3

[Joanna Moody @MoodyMobility]

My research with @mitmobility on transportation policymaking in Chinese cities is featured in @MIT news! https://t.co/R8xt39WJNz

@mitenergy

[NUMO Alliance @NUMOalliance]

How can we leverage new #mobility to build better cities? Start by understanding the integration of behaviors, systems & policies. Learn more from Jinhua Zhao & more in this free edX course from MIT & NUMO, starting May 12 ➡️https://t.co/tQOU9o3BPT

[Anson Stewart @ansoncfit]

"In Boston, there is higher ridership on buses in the lowest-income areas, than there is on the subway in the whole city"

Chris Zegras (@MITdusp) presenting to the Chilean National Council on Urban Development

[The Overhead Wire @theoverheadwire]

New #TalkingHeadways episode! It Came from TRB!!! Professors and students share their posters at the conference. https://t.co/dERTBz8aBf feat @CassieEHalls @KMRalph @ucla_its @sjbarbeau @MCECSpdx @DL_Comeaux @mitmobility @UAlberta_Eng
