My very millennial take is that I'd appreciate it if restaurants just had a phone number you could call and talk to a human anymore! it's sometimes impossibly hard to ask basic questions

Its understandable that transit can be slower than driving, but it was totally bonkers when my @metrolosangeles.bsky.social operator slowed the bus effectively going 9 mph even though there was light traffic because he was “running hot” the entire route. Why rob riders of their time in this way?

Always thrilled to see bus improvements & bus riders get attention! (More trips on bus than L here in Chi) Great new @chicagocta.bsky.social high frequency bus network but more infrastructure changes needed for speedier service. And if legislators don't act to fund transit, such devastating impacts.

Wishing you a lovely evening! Not going to make it tonight but the August event is on the calendar!

NYC’s congestion toll has students spending more time at school A prominent New York City school bus service defended the congestion pricing program against attacks from Trump's Department of Transportation that it amounts to

Fun! The central library downtown also rules

I went one night after work and this group of three teens was lifting with bad form and just being reckless on the machines and it was so distracting I nearly caught their bad form like the flu

We have a LIFE update!   | The Source Attention, LIFE participants! We’ve made some UX enhancements to our LIFE program, a fare discount program designed to help qualifying riders save on

Kudos to LA Metro for implementing this improvement that enhances the way free transit fares are provided to individuals in the LIFE program

Before, recipients had to go into the app and manually load their 20 free rides every month. Now, it's done automatically! thesource.metro.net/we-have-a-li...

Switching back from podcast host to podcast guest and sharing a great conversation about our mobility wallet work in LA and what we've learned so far

No I don’t think there is but it’s probably because I can’t imagine that an app would be enough of a contributor because ridership is so tied to service and density, first and foremost and area demographics after that.

Our multi-campus research team shared preliminary results from our work about the evacuation experiences of transit riders with LA county transportation and emergency management professionals yesterday! Can’t wait to release these findings publicly later this summer

where are these trees you speak of in LA?

Also killed many federal university transportation centers and took research and fellowship money away from students and researchers alike

Final episode in our Road Scholars mini-series on ride-hailing use among people with disabilities now available!

We covered a lot of ground in these four parts from how housing cost increases affect transit, how parking affects car ownership, equity and micromobility and this! Take a listen today!

Nope - not my area of expertise but will pass along to colleagues!

Thoroughly unsurprised. Thoroughly unprepared.

Also got played when he got a strikeout in the 4th!

I'm so glad that we have @awalkerinla.bsky.social's newsletter to contextualize local issues these days. Not only does she provide depth on things that matter to me, but it also provides good context on LA when we get picked up nationally

Is there a paper that covers this question?

Remembering Hannah King - UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies Hannah King was a transportation planning PhD student and cherished member of our research community.

Also remembering Hannah King who was awarded her PhD posthumously today. She was a special member of our UCLA transportation community and you can read more about her legacy here www.its.ucla.edu/2024/12/05/r...

Congrats to all the UCLA Urban Planning graduate students who are walking across the stage today in Royce Hall! It'll be a pleasure to work with you all professionally and as one of the previous student speakers shared years ago, remember "there are no height limits on your dreams."

He would always wear a hat that wasn't actually a mortarboard (see picture from my graduation) so hopefully another faculty takes up the "wear a distinctive hat" torch.

I was thinking how Friday's UCLA Luskin commencement will be the first in a very long time without Shoup on stage.

Comforted to see that while his physical presence is no longer with us, the continued momentum from his work is helping elected officials push towards making our cities better

We found similar descriptive results when we looked at race and crash victims in Los Angeles for Black victims. Black victims are at higher risk in neighborhoods with higher Black population, but also just most places in the City of LA

Great work! I would genuinely like to know how you find the time to be involved in such a variety of projects! All I've come up with is "yonah must just be built different"
