A section of the article cites two decades of data from five transportation surveys compiled by Professor Steve Polzin, Research Assistant Professor Irfan Batur and Professor and Director Ram Pendyala in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools. The data offered them a look at how commuting and transit ridership and other road travel habits in the U.S. have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts of those changes. Their study details the trends that evolved during the pandemic and that still impact today’s road travel scenarios and points the way to potential solutions to many current automobile transportation challenges across the country.
