Transits Path Forward in a Pandemic: Uniting Public Health Policy and Tran

The Tri-State Region is engaged in three distinct efforts: modeling how people move and modeling how the disease moves in the Region, and conducting a sophisticated study of aerosol dispersion in transit. The Project engages a team of public health and transit experts to integrate the three efforts to provide recommendations to the transit agencies and communicate the findings to riders to strengthen public confidence and allow the public to safely and assuredly return to transit.
