Upcoming Events

Join us for a special webinar featuring new research exploring patterns in which travelers on urban and intercity trips use buses as trains rather than private vehicles. We'll discuss timely two studies illustrating the dynamics of creating a more balanced transportation system. First, Professor Nicholas J. Klein of Cornell University will discuss "Remembrance of Cars and Buses Past: How Prior Life Experiences Influence Travel." Klein asks the questions "Does living in a neighborhood with high-quality public transit influence travel behavior later in life, even if you move. Then, Chaddick Directors C. Scott Smith and Joe Schwieterman will discuss "Ground Transportation Gaps: Evaluating Recent Setbacks in Amtrak and Intercity Bus Travel during an Era of Lower Cost Fuel," a new study showing that some of the momentum in intercity bus and train traffic and service expansion has diminished since 2015, in part due to lower costs for auto and air travel. Email trf-chicago@depaul.edu to RSVP for the webinar.
