If you are attending #TRBAM2024 in Washington DC and are interested in transportation research on developing countries, check out this great line-up of activities hosted by AME40: sites.google.com/view/trb-am…
#Logistics and #FreightTransport already account for around 10% of global #GHGemissions. Without action, emissions will continue to rise, with much of the growth coming from developing countries. Here's what governments can do to change this trajectory: hdl.handle.net/10986/40529

The path to low-carbon #urbantransport is different for cities in developed and developing countries. New report with @Bianca_Balves & @lamaBM explains why walking, public transport, and goods demand management are priorities for green and inclusive cities wrld.bg/Ovoc50POp1x

It was a pleasure to hear Dr. Okonjo-Iweala speak at the MIT commencement ceremony. She highlighted that technology can help us in our fight against poverty and climate change but that public policy surrounding that technology diffusion is even more critical for inclusivity

Mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) can improve travel experiences *and* serve as a tool for governments to better plan, organize, and price different mobility services. New report on how MaaS technology interacts with transport supply, demand, and governance in developing countries.
MaaS empowers users to access the most optimal mode (or modes) of travel on a trip-by-trip basis. To achieve this, MaaS provides a simplifying link between users and mobility services, often via a technology-enabled platform blogs.worldbank.org/transpor… via @WBG_Transport

People living in cities have more mobility options than ever before; but greater complexity and fragmentation of services comes at a cost to cities and their residents. Mobility-as-a-service as a multimodal governance framework can help. New @WBG_Transport report has more!

Enjoyed sharing my research on "car pride" and how attitudes influence car ownership and use behaviors in MENA and the U.S. Check out the newest episode of the @CEBC2 #podcast on future mobility with @mitenergy:

🔊A new CEBC MENA podcast episode is out!
In this episode, we discuss the people's mobility behavior in the US and the MENA regions and how different they are and the so-called "Car Pride" across the US and the MENA countries and how it is constructed.

ALT 🔊A new CEBC MENA podcast episode is out! In this episode, Dr. Joanna Moody, Ph.D., Research Program Manager at MIT Energy Initiative's Mobility Systems Center, discusses her research on the people's mobility behavior in the US and the MENA regions and how different they are and her research on the so-called "Car Pride" across the US and the MENA countries and how this is constructed. This episode's partner is MIT Energy Initiative and generously sponsored by The Hollings Center for International Dialogue.

Today is my last day at @mitenergy Mobility Systems Center. It has been a fantastic journey and the start of many life-long friendships and collaborations.
Saying goodbye is hard, but I am thrilled to be joining @WBG_Transport on their transportation decarbonization agenda!

New paper with @mitmobility measures the effect of non-compliance/leakage to Beijing's car ownership restriction. We estimate that at least 35% of the car growth reduction intended by the policy simply spilled over to neighboring cities.

New research with @_David_Keith and @mitenergy investigates how ridehailing fits into the travel behavior of its users, explicitly differentiating between exclusive and pooled services in three Mexican cities.
doi.org/10.1177/036119812110…
(ii) mode substitution depends on the type of ridehailing service. High substitutability between pooled and exclusive services suggests that there is potential to encourage ridehailing users to pool trips, increasing the occupancy rate of vehicles and reducing negative impacts
