.@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

"As cta president, I have made it a priority to work on focusing our agency's collective vision regarding #equity to ensure that it takes center stage." - Dorval Carter at #TRBAM

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. youtube.com/watch?v=IBMgn5…

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

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.
