"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…

@mierkezat @dziblatt @bartbonikowski Amazing, huge congrats Alex!

@lenberkowitz @LucilleBurdge I can understand why people might think it’s true, but that wild guess turns out to be incorrect: forbes.com/sites/carltonr…

The cyclists are the ones who cause the safety issues. Stop creating bike lanes, this is a horrible idea.

The funniest type-of-guy that has recently emerged is "vehemently anti-remote-work Tech Venture Capitalist," just a bunch of people whose self described job is launching revolutionary digital technologies looking at a tech-enabled work revolution and saying "Wow I hate this"

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.

Thrilled to be presenting part of my disseratation work at the upcoming @BARIboston conference.

@OmarAlghabra @ITF_Forum @OlKubrakov 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%

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.

To be clear I think it probably is better for the planet on net, but at the very least it's extremely situation-dependent and we need more comrehensive research before making such claims.

Better headline: "Telework is better for the planet... in one very narrow sense and only if we ignore all the possible downsides when doing the research". washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…

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.

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

Looking forward to another #TRBAM! I'll be presenting @MITTransitLab research on evaluating public transport systems🚉🌐 during two early morning sessions. Let me know if you'd like to catch up over coffee!

@Claudia_Pres The "Everyone Deserves Safe Streets" website from the City of Boston tells a pretty compelling story: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/a90bff…
