UO Transportation Studies

Applied Transportation Studies at the University of Oregon

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

We are excited to offer this transformational study abroad class on bicycle transportation and cities again! And while it may be hard to think about next summer already, it's really important that applications get in early.

[University of Oregon PPPM @uopppm]

Interested in learning how design, policy, and social change can transform previously car-dominated cities into places where 50% of trips are made by bike?

Come with us to Denmark and the Netherlands to see for yourself! 🇩🇰 🇳🇱 This class fills quickly!

Read on for new research on ridehailing and lower-income travelers by our very own Dr. Anne Brown (and others!).

@SCI_UO @uopppm @UOEnviroInit

[Urbanism Next @UrbanismNext]

We are thrilled about this new paper by Urbanism Next researcher @AmandaCHowell, @uoregondesign prof Anne Brown and @Cornell assistant prof @n_j_klein. 👏 Find out how lower-income travelers are using ride-hail. ↓↓

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

This should be interesting. Hopefully they will discuss the enormous potential of energy reduction as well as green energy transformation. For transport, a switch to green fuel, while good, misses many opportunities that reducing car dependency itself can achieve. @UOEnviroInit

“Congress and Climate Change�� discussion @ 3:30pm May 24 Knight Law Center w/ Environmental and Natural Resources Law Center Professor Greg Dotson and a panel with Provost Patrick Phillips & @Oregon_Law Dean Marcilynn Burke. Preregister: https://t.co/I9H8ItsUOY #uoclimatechange

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

Great to see UO’s work by faculty and students recognized as critical to meeting the nation’s biggest transportation, environmental, affordability, and equity challenges. And how lucky to be able to hear and learn directly from @RepPeterDefazio. @uoregon

[Marc Schlossberg @MarcSchlossberg]

Privileged to be part of an event (and bike ride!) with Congressional transportation leader @RepPeterDefazio. We need to invest significant federal $ in cities so they can increase the ability for more people to bike for some of their daily trips. @UO_SCI https://t.co/s1zhwWqWIV

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

Great to see UO PPPM Professor Brown tapped for her transportation expertise, addressing some new transportation tech and disruptors...

[University of Oregon PPPM @uopppm]

“We're at essentially an inflection point where cities and communities are really more willing to rethink how we've done transportation in the past.” Read the latest from Assistant Professor Anne Brown on the future of ride hailing: https://t.co/nO2c2vPGtC

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

How fun to have a UO Prof speaking in Corvallis! Working together to advance sustainable transport!

[BikePortland @BikePortland]

Wonk alert: Cool webinar tomorrow (5/18) hosted by Corvallis Sustainability Coalition @SustainCorv with UO prof @MarcSchlossberg of https://t.co/7gNG46jkIj fame

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

Based on our work with cities and the barriers they face in fully realizing their climate action, equity, and affordability plans, this would be a game-changer opportunity!

[Marc Schlossberg @MarcSchlossberg]

Here is a more graphical overview of "30x30x30" - what I believe is a much needed and critical program that should be part of the upcoming infrastructure or transportation legislation. Follow the thread. Access a short PDF: https://t.co/3JYUeIkDjk @SecretaryPete @T4America

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

Teaching, serving, and changing practice, all focused on sustainable transport - cool stuff. Go students! And go Oregon communities! This is the way transportation education ought to be and this is how universities and communities ought to work together. @OregonCities

[Marc Schlossberg @MarcSchlossberg]

One of the joys of linking my bicycle transport planning class to local Oregon community goals is to see students' creative ideas get adopted, adapted, and implemented. It's much better than having those creative ideas only be seen by me as an instructor. @uoregon @uoregondesign

[Sustainable Transportation & Livable Communities @uwmst]

Join our Mark Hallenbeck, Anne Brown (@uo_transport) , Michael Manville (@UCLALuskin), Paul Lewis (@EnoTrans) for a webinar on the future of Mobility on Demand in #transit, exploring @metrolosangeles @kcmetrobus @SoundTransit pilots.

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

These are important connections. It’s time to demilitarize routine traffic enforcement and also re-design our streets and transport systems that reduce need for arbitrary enforcement to begin with. Transport, justice, climate, health, happiness, & life are all intertwined.

[Marc Schlossberg @MarcSchlossberg]

This article makes an important connection between how we can design our streets for mobility safety AND design out some of the police violence on them at the same time, not to mention simply de-arming traffic cops in general.

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

Great to have UO’s @MarcSchlossberg sharing this great work. The book has been downloaded across every continent (minus Antarctica) and it’s nice to provide more context to folks right here in Oregon. @uoregon

[Marc Schlossberg @MarcSchlossberg]

TY to the team at Think Out Loud for inviting me to talk about "Rethinking Streets During COVID". If interested in a free download go here: https://t.co/YjZf9Rwbu0 (non-commercial). And thank you to a great student team & Prof Rebecca Lewis @RebL19 for making a great resource.

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

This is a great model and we are happy to have our transportation classes regularly be part of the UO’s Sustainable City Year Program (our EPIC program). Tangible outcomes for hundreds of students and many Oregon cities and towns have resulted. It’s a great model! @uopppm

[Marc Schlossberg @MarcSchlossberg]

The EPIC Model is a very transferrable university-community partnership model, transforms education for students, significantly accelerates community change, and develops local capacity for sustained effort. And it happened to be founded a decade ago at @uoregon!

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

Fixing our transportation systems is important to so much more than just the ride (or walk).

[Marc Schlossberg @MarcSchlossberg]

I think this sums it all up!

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

The Dutch blueprint for urban vitality isn’t about bicycles.

It’s about refusing to sacrifice vast amounts of the public realm to the private car; instead reserving it for commerce, community and social connection.

The ubiquitous bicycles are simply a byproduct of that process.

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

LiveMove is awesome! And a great way for students to gain some leadership experience while learning and making a difference in the local Eugene-Springfield community. All @uoregon students are welcome because transportation is cool and connects to almost everything.

[LiveMove @LiveMove2]

We have 5 positions opening up for the next academic year! Elections will be during our Week 4 meeting, and positions will start this summer

[Marc Schlossberg @MarcSchlossberg]

Next week - I'll be there for sure!

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

Our students are amazing and very cool theses undergraduate and masters students helped create a book while still in school.

[Marc Schlossberg @MarcSchlossberg]

A whole group of amazing students helped create "Rethinking Streets During COVID" (free download at https://t.co/YjZf9Rwbu0). We were then asked for our favorite street in general and this is what we said: https://t.co/knbh4ZmEvQ
@uopppm @uoregondesign @NITC_UTC

[UO Transportation Studies @uo_transport]

Interesting UO-based study on the impact of ridehailing on public transit in a smaller metro area using a natural experiment.

Results ===> Uber resulted in a 5% decrease in transit use

"shifting to active transport could save as much as a quarter of personal CO2 emissions from transport". Interesting quantitative study by the EU-based PASTA research team that includes
@SCI_UO & @uoregondesign researcher Thomas Götschi. https://t.co/GXOTWbuhNc
