Seeking shade waiting for the bus at the start of this heat wave

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

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.

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

Cooking up something new in @uclalewiscenter.bsky.social communications land… more details to come soon!

Yeah, that's even a bleaker picture!

Here's a look at revenue service hours at LA Metro from 1994 - 2020. The peak of bus service was 2006 - the last year of the consent decree. No increases in service since the passage of Measures R or M

What is that shiny building? I gotta assume it's the same architect as the LA Bonaventure hotel

As Councilmember Nithya Raman committed to advancing his ideal towards more implementation, I look forward to continuing to see a positive influence of his work in LA (and beyond) for years to come

Showing these two charts is a good way to teach about the importance of using observed data rather than stated data

Why have a queue that doesn't give you an actual estimate of your wait time?

Seeing this steady growth in housing in the last nearly 20 years demonstrates that change does not happen overnight - it takes continued commitment to growth and change.

Did the darn thing and tried an autonomous ridehail today and selected drop off at one of the UCLA locations you can select from. But that zone didn't actually have a safe drop off spot and was somewhat in the bike lane.

Are any cities with AVs figuring out the curb management for drop offs?
