Rides: Red Line | Fitchburg Line | 1, 47, & 70 Bus

I am a runner, bicyclist, skier, podcaster and transit advocate and in my spare time, a graduate student in urban planning and transportation engineering at MIT. I spend my time on the streets of Boston and Cambridge, and trails of New England and further abroad. I've worked extensively with advocacy organizations in the region like TransitMatters and LivableStreets to bring change and equity to transportation and development projects, such as building support for a bus lane in Charlestown and a people-centered redevelopment in Allston. I am particularly interested in how small changes and data analysis can set the groundwork for long-term results, especially when it comes to strategically-implemented transit priority and transit operations, from bus and subway dispatching to Regional Rail. I live on a block between the 47 and 64 buses and would ride them more if they were both more frequent and less sardine-crowded at rush hour (which, it turns out, are related issues).
