TRB In the News

Young Drivers.JPG

In a TRB Transportation Research Record journal article focusing on severe crashes involving younger and older drivers, 14 critical areas are identified for systemic safety improvements in Massachusetts. Key factors include risky behaviors, high-speed roads, and infrastructure quality. Towns were ranked by risk, with top towns accounting for 13.5% of severe younger driver crashes and 14.5% of severe older driver crashes. Sage Perspectives has a feature on the research.

There is an emerging consensus as to how to deploy and operate driverless services that are safe and profitable while enhancing the mobility of goods and people, notes a Forbes article reporting from TRB's Automated Road Transportation Symposium.

Half of Uber and Lyft's trips replace more sustainable options, finds a study in TRB's Transportation Research Record journal that also suggests ways to make ridehailing more sustainable and equitable. The University of California, Davis writes about it.
