"It's a tool we didn't know we needed" - the most common thing I've heard in follow-up conversations about DART.

Love talking with people about DART because it frees up hard working educators forced to dig around a LMS/SIS for student support data and allows them to focus on what they do best: engaging students. Let's chat about this gamer changer! globalonlineacademy.org/design-lab/pro…

Loved taking a look at @GOAlearning's Catalyst Conference projects this year. Especially enjoyed this look at the student debt crisis through the lens of game theory goaconference.org/modeling-the-f… #goandchangeit

@seantubbs I agree. I can assure you it remains something we talk about regularly ...

Love it! We can learn from BT here locally. One of the more compelling elements of its service its the seamless integration of its university/fixed route/regional/demand response into one agency.

I've been spending a lot of time on regional transit these days and found this podcast to be spot on - well worth the listen 99percentinvisible.org/episode/missin…

@RoryStolzenberg @seantubbs @RideWithCAT @rideJAUNT @UVAUTS @VirginiaDRPT @SmartCville Conservative estimate on the initial year was 81

@seantubbs @RideWithCAT @rideJAUNT @UVAUTS @VirginiaDRPT @SmartCville How many pax/day are we talking?

Related: CAT has 0 data analysts supporting its strategic planning. A request for this role has been made and I hope Council supports the request.

The decline in ridership noted in this article is fair but it leaves out a huge factor - CAT fareboxes do not appear to be accurately counting passengers. Obviously we have work to do but we also need a clearer picture of usage to support these changes.

Appreciate this look into our transit system. Sitting on the JAUNT board & RTP has been eye opening and I wholeheartedly agree in a more regional, less siloed approach.

Really excited about this!

Big kudos to @Andare_Go and his team on this major step forward for transit in the region, proud to be a part of this team!
