The newly-launched UC Davis Transit Research Center hosted an invite only Transit Research Symposium on May 25 at The UC Davis International Center.
This event showcased research underway at UC Davis exploring how transit agencies are adopting emerging technologies, the relationship between public transit and shared-use mobility, how COVID-19 has affected transit use and transit agencies, and how land use and other factors contribute to transit use.
The Symposium brought together stakeholders, practitioners, policy makers, and others, facilitating dialogue and novel ideas regarding transit use and improvements. By highlighting key policy relevant research outcomes and connecting researchers with policy makers, this event helped inform the future work of the growing Transit Research Center.
