The Symposium will take place October 25-27, 2022. The central theme for the symposium is “translating transit research into practice.” As the transit industry is poised to take advantage of the largest transit and rail investment in our lifetimes, the symposium will be a platform where transit experts share insights on how evidence-based research is being or can be, used to make the most of these opportunities in a changing environment. In addition to discussions on transit research and practice in the US, a group of international speakers will be invited to share transit insights from non-US contexts. This year’s symposium will focus on the following topics:

• Zero-fare transit
• Fare collection and payment options
• Electrification and zero emissions
• Transit resiliency
• Public health and transit
• Mobility hubs and multimodal coordination
• Strategic funding for public transit
• Managing costs and maintenance
