• Designing Vehicles for Pooled and Shared Travel in the Wake of the Pandemic - This research developed a COVID-19 Risk-mitigating Vehicle Design (RVD) typology to summarize and analyze the wide variety of emerging vehicle design strategies to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission among workers and passengers in shared and pooled vehicles. Public transit and shared mobility service operators can use the RVD typology as a reference and guide to aid decision-making. The typology also serves as a launching point for further innovation and research to evaluate the relative effectiveness of RVD strategies and their relationship to user acceptance. This research is vital to informing service operators’ investments in RVD strategies, and ultimately to support a return to safe, equitable, and sustainable shared and pooled travel in the wake of the pandemic. Role: PI
