VIRTUAL PANEL DISCUSSION

Getting mass transit back on track and the resilience of micromobility

How will commuters return to and adjust their travel as New York reopens? NYU's Rudin Center for Transportation and HNTB present a virtual panel discussion on restoring faith in mass transit, planning for the long-term, and increasing the resilience of micromobility.

This webinar will focus on unique issues currently facing mass transit and micromobility in New York, including rebuilding riders’ confidence and usage of the various systems and lessons learned from reopening efforts. The uncertainty brought on by the pandemic has taken deep root in the Northeast as its cities were among the hardest hit. Yet, there is reason for optimism, and this conversation seeks to maximize the long-term effectiveness of the region’s recovery.

Please join us for this important event. It is open to the public and there is no cost to participate. Panelists will be available for Q&A during the event.
