We welcome Marcel Moran who is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of City and Regional Planning at UC Berkeley. The paper focuses on the distribution of amenities at bus stops in San Francisco. Transit stops serve as crucial components of journeys for riders, but their condition is often left out of equity considerations. Marcel conducted a census of transit stops in SF to explore the equity within and between neighbourhoods. We’re talking about his paper Are Shelters in Place?: Mapping the Distribution of Transit Amenities via a Bus-Stop Census of San Francisco. This paper was recently published in the Journal of Public Transportation.

We welcome Dr. Anne Harris who is an associate professor in the School of Occupational and Public Health at Ryerson University. Anne is an epidemiologist interested in patterns of disease and injuries in populations and particularly committed to studying and improving the methods used to conduct this type of research. She is interested in developing new ways to study occupational and transportation risk relationships. This includes the linkage of large administrative datasets and population-based survey and cohort data. We’re talking about her paper “Estimating walking and bicycling in Canada and their road collision fatality risks: The need for a national household travel survey” recently published in Preventive Medicine Reports with co-authors Michael Branion-Calles, Kay Teschke, Mieke Koehoorn, and Osvaldo Espin-Garcia.

We welcome Hannah Hook who is a Ph.D. student at Ghent University of Belgium. She is an urban geographer and EIT Urban Mobility Fellow focusing on daily travel behavior and the relationship between travel satisfaction and well-being. Her background is in Sustainable Cities and GIS Technology. Her research aims to understand the motivations for and attitudes toward daily travel, as this can identify opportunities for encouraging sustainable, healthy travel and improving the social equity of travel. We’re talking about her paper entitled ‘Does undirected travel compensate for reduced travel during lockdown?’. This paper was recently published in Transportation Letters with her co-authors Jonas De Vos, Veronique Van Acker, and Frank Witlox.

We welcome Dr. Léa Ravensbergen, who is a post-doctoral fellow at TRAM or (Transportation research at McGill) in the School of Urban Planning. Her mixed-methods transport research is driven by an overarching concern for equity in the creation of healthy and sustainable cities. Her doctoral research on the gender gap in cycling won the 2019 American Association of Geographer’s Urban Geography PhD Dissertation award. She recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at McMaster University where she conducted community-engaged research on older adults’ experiences using public transportation. We’re talking about her paper entitled 'Toward feminist geographies of cycling'. This paper was published in Geography Compass in 2019 with co-authors Ron Buliung, and Nicole Laliberte.

We welcome Dr. Kelcie Ralph who is an assistant professor at Rutgers in the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. In her research, Dr. Ralph works to identify and correct common misperceptions about travel behavior and safety to improve transportation planning outcomes.  We’re talking about her paper entitled “Distracted by ‘distracted pedestrians”? Published in the journal Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives with co-author Ian Girardeau. This study focuses on the framing of distracted walking, irons out some of the literature on what we know about it, how large a problem it actually is, and what measures we should be focusing on to keep pedestrians safe. As we’ll learn from Kelcie, what we know about distracted pedestrians highly influences how we try to address this issue.
