"It’s really just a geometry problem," says @nick_caros "Trains and buses are a way more efficient way to move people using the same amount of space as private cars.” ow.ly/B1kW50PkKRH

PhD student Nick Caros is helping transit agencies serve the public in an era of remote work. “People have changed where they’re going when they go to work,” he says. “A lot of people are working from home, but some are also working in other places.” mitsha.re/jZC850Pi9tr

New SWAA data looks at the evolution of WFH locations. During 2020/21 WFH mostly meant "at home" because of COVID risks. By mid-2023 WFH has become shorthand for a broader set of places, like cafes, co-working spaces, and friends or family. wfhresearch.com/wp-content/upl…

If the world is going to avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change, cities are going to have to look more like Leipzig, Germany, according to findings from a new report released Wednesday at the International Transport Forum. trib.al/YDgp3N7


On my way to Leipzig for the @ITF_Forum summit! Looking forward to presenting a collaborative project on “Measuring New Mobility” tomorrow.

I really appreciate the trust placed in the @ITF_Forum Secretariat by our member country Canada and @OmarAlghabra @Transport_gc War does the opposite of what transport is for: connecting people! #Ukraine @OlKubrakov @OECD

in contrast, the @MBTA’s highest post-Covid subway ridership day was on June 16 2022, the last Thursday before they cut service by over 20% Since mid-June ‘22 > NYC subway ridership is up ~12% > MBTA subway ridership is down ~10%

COVID Era Ridership update: Yesterday's subway ridership of 3,946,310 was the highest single-day total since March 12, 2020. So close to 4 million paid trips.

#Nature will launch a new journal in 2024: Nature Cities, and is hiring a full-time editor (e.g., post-doc in urban engineering). The Chief Editor contacted me if I had anyone to recommend. Let me know if you would like an introduction. Learn more at careers.springernature.com/job/London-Ass…

Effective immediately, out of an abundance of caution, the Red, Orange, Blue, & Green Lines will operate at speeds of 10-25mph following findings by the Department of Public Utilities during a recent site visit of the Red Line between Ashmont & Savin Hill.

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.

▶️@mitmagob se ha reunido con el Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts (MIT), el Consorcio Regional de Transportes de Madrid y la @La_UPM para intercambiar experiencias de la aplicación de inteligencia artificial y tecnologías bigdata al análisis de la movilidad.

Interested in how data can be used to guide sustainable transport policy for African cities? 🌍🚊 Our work on modeling accessibility in Ghana will be presented as part of the OECD’s COP27 program on Nov 3. More info: oecd-events.org/cop27/session/…

America now builds more 3-car garages than 1bdrm apartments. Our nation has an average of 1,000 sqft of parking for each car vs. 800 sqft of housing per person. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
