Special guest for this week's seminar: Dr. Constantinos Antoniou (Professor TU München and alum of MIT CEE) presenting on autonomous mobility and "evidence-based anticipation"

New #TalkingHeadways episode! It Came from TRB!!! Professors and students share their posters at the conference. bit.ly/39JbrEC feat @CassieEHalls Kelcie Ralph, PhD UCLA ITS Sean Barbeau (@barbeau.bsky.social) @MCECSpdx @DL_Comeaux JTL: A Mobility Lab Engineering at Alberta

"In Boston, there is higher ridership on buses in the lowest-income areas, than there is on the subway in the whole city" Chris Zegras (MIT Urban Planning @mitdusp.bsky.social) presenting to the Chilean National Council on Urban Development

How can we leverage new #mobility to build better cities? Start by understanding the integration of behaviors, systems & policies. Learn more from Jinhua Zhao & more in this free edX course from MIT & NUMO, starting May 12 ➡️ow.ly/UaqY50zBC5i

My research with JTL: A Mobility Lab on transportation policymaking in Chinese cities is featured in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) news! news.mit.edu/2020/transport… MIT Energy Initiative

Barr Foundation 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-topline/20…

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. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Hui Kong, Jinhua Zhao, & Xiaohu Zhang examine a case study in Chengdu, China. More- bit.ly/smartsKong

Professor Jinhua Zhao, director of JTL: A Mobility Lab and MIT Transit Lab, is on the program tomorrow morning (Spotlight on Transit Data / Analytics Labs) and Thursday (New Data Sources: Perspectives and Challenges) transitdata2020.ca/program/

About to get started and so excited to see people from all over the United States and the world (Nepal, China, Colombia, Turkey, Ecuador, Nigeria, India, and Switzerland just to name a few)!!! Thanks for hosting me Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)!

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

IDSS affiliate Jinhua Zhao discusses how ridership on public transit, electrification of vehicles, and ride-sharing have changed due to the #pandemic — and what the post-pandemic future of #transportation might look like around the world. bit.ly/3axFAIR

Our joint The Hill op-ed with MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub: 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." thehill.com/opinion/techno…

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).

Excited to share our ongoing research on remote work locations, with Xiaotong Guo and Jinhua Zhao at MIT Transit Lab JTL: A Mobility Lab. 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…

My first byline! Op-ed for Eno Center for Transportation: 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.

Yesterday, some of our lab members enjoyed an opening-day ride on the Green Line Extension #GLX 🚊

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 MIT Libraries Dspace- bit.ly/morganDspace

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

Full schedule of our lightning talks, presentations, and posters at #TRBAM2023 #TRBAM !

Our students (with JTL: A Mobility Lab MIT Urban Planning @mitdusp.bsky.social) have been presenting recent findings and learning about cutting-edge public transport research in Spain. Thanks to MISTI Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Global Seed Fund for supporting this opportunity for cross-cultural learning and exchange.
