Research with transit agencies @mbta, @TfL, @cta, @MTRupdate. #bigdata

[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.

Looking forward to another #TRBAM! I'll be presenting
@MITTransitLab research on evaluating public transport systems🚉🌐 during two early morning sessions.

Let me know if you'd like to catch up over coffee!

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

Public transit agencies are struggling to come to grips with the possibility that its daily commuters may never come back. https://t.co/RjlbNziLmY via @citylab @SkylarWoodhouse

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

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.

@mitmobility

[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.

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."

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

Title VI should be the bare minimum. President Carter lays out a compelling case that agencies must do more and engage with questions of equity and access in a more nuanced way.

"As @cta president, I have made it a priority to work on focusing our agency's collective vision regarding #equity to ensure that it takes center stage." - Dorval Carter at #TRBAM

[Jasmine @J_asiEft]

.@transitmom Lunch Keynote looking at transit ridership decline in US cities. When it comes to increase in ridership & service levels, transit-oriented cities got more bang for their buck than auto-oriented ones #TransitData2020

[MIT Transit Lab @MITTransitLab]

Many of our students, alumni/ae, and friends are on the #TransitData2020 agenda too.

Session 2-B: Qing Yi Wang
Plenary 3: Patrick Meredith-Karam, Jiali Zhou
Session 3-A: Farah Machlab, Nick Caros
Session 3-C: @cvanderwaart

And more!
