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 !
Starting in a few minutes: five of our students presenting at the TRB Transit Data committee lighting talks ⚡⚡

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!

Public transit agencies are struggling to come to grips with the possibility that its daily commuters may never come back. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… 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- bit.ly/morganDspace

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.

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).

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.

Title VI creates an opportunity for transit agencies to feel absolved from achieving actual equity in their systems at the expense of their riders. Instead, states Dorval Carter, transit professionals should couple Title VI with actual policies & outreach. #TRBAM

.@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
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!
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)
