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.

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. @MITTransitLab @mitmobility

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. thehill.com/opinion/598633-f…

The future of work: Not the office or home

How employers react to the rise of “third places” remains an open question.

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).

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- bit.ly/smartsKong

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. massincpolling.com/the-topli…

Transportation policymaking in Chinese cities

For the past three years, an MIT team led by Joanna Moody and Jinhua Zhao has been examining transportation policy in China. In particular, they asked: how do municipal leaders decide what transpor...

Stay tuned! Dr. Hui Kong (transitlab.mit.edu/hui-kong, joint postdoc with @mitmobility) has done novel work on transit-TNC substitution vs. complementarity. She's advising students who are extending this work to additional cities, and we're seeing updates in today's group meeting.
