Accessibility, Transportation Systems Operations (and Efficiency)Problem Statement
Transit accessibility remains an issue for many residents. Additionally, empty buses run during off-peak or late-night hours and in suburban areas to meet coverage requirements, often resulting in inefficient resource allocation. This project will assess the potential for new mobility services (e.g., AVs and micromobility) to fill gaps in transit service and improve operational efficiency.
Outcomes & Deliverables
– One journal publication under review and one conference presentation
– Code for cost benefit analysis model uploaded to Github for public download
– A brief identifying considerations for policymakers, technology companies, and transit agencies
