The routes and schedules of public transit, the presence or absence of sidewalks, the availability of different transportation options, and the design of highways that divide cities these are examples of aspects of transportation systems that can profoundly impact underserved communities access to basic needs like jobs, health care, education and even food.
A new study by University of Michigan researchers reveals common barriers that transportation decision-makers face in considering these issues and addressing them.
To conduct the study, a team from a multidisciplinary project involving engineering, public policy and data science interviewed 59 transportation practitioners in government, industry, the nonprofit sector and academia.
For USDOT, a Scientific Approach, and TOD Funds
Robert C. Hampshire, Ph.D.
Resurrecting a position that was abolished more than 40 years ago, the U.S. Department of Transportation is appointing a Chief Science Officer for the entire agency, and has taken additional steps “to act on the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to address the climate emergency and restore scientific integrity.” And the Federal Transit Administration has made available $10 million in TOD (transit-oriented development) planning grant funds.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has designated Robert C. Hampshire, Ph.D., as Acting Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, and officially as Chief Science Officer. Hampshire will serve as the principal advisor to Buttigieg on science and technology issues, “ensuring that USDOT’s RD&T (Research, Development & Technology) programs are scientifically and technologically well-founded and conducted with integrity,” DOT said.

20 smart intersections coming to Ann Arbor

(WXYZ) â The future of driving will soon be revealed in Ann Arbor as 20 smart intersections are planned for the city.
The University of Michigan announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation s Federal Highway Administration has awarded the project, headed by U-M s Transportation Research Institute, $9.95 million to help equip existing infrastructure with technology that will provide data to connected and automated vehicles. Other partners have also given $10 million toward the project, according to U-M.
The intersections will eventually be able to capture the speed and direction of anything or anyone moving in the area thanks to cameras, radar and infrared sensors. The information would then be sent to connected vehicles to alert drivers of possible dangers, the university said, noting the current limitations of connected and automated vehicles onboard technology.
