Human Transit, Book Talk by Jarrett Walker

Join UCLA ITS to celebrate the revised edition of Jarrett Walker’s Human Transit, Revised Edition: How Clearer Thinking about Public Transit Can Enrich Our Communities and Our Lives. The new edition will deepen its explanations about the basic principles of public transit, informed by his work as a network planning consultant. New topics include the problem with specialization; the role of flexible or “demand response” services; how to know when to redesign your network; and responding to tech-industry claims that transit will soon be obsolete. Finally, he added a major new section exploring the idea of access to opportunity as a core measure of transit’s success.
