Our friends at University of Illinois Chicago's The Urban Transportation Center at UIC research team are conducting a work from home study funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation. They are looking for human resource directors and corporate managers to provide insight into the work from home practice. Your participation will help develop a near-future vision of office work, commuting, and resulting travel and implications on multimodal urban transportation demand and supply. Take their online survey or schedule an interview with their research team here https://lnkd.in/e-fVsHG3

About us
CNT is a nonprofit organization, headquartered in Chicago, that helps cities use resources more efficiently and equitably. We research, invent, and test urban strategies that integrate economic development, environmental sustainability, and technology, with a focus on low-income communities and communities of color. For four decades, we have been known for our advanced analytics, thorough community engagement, and innovative ideas to help communities solve their present and future challenges. Our work is not just about making cities more efficient; it is about finding solutions that benefit all people. We have collaborated on urban sustainability work all over the country, and our current priorities include water infrastructure, equitable transportation-oriented development (eTOD), and climate resilience. Our projects, such as the Great Lakes Water Infrastructure Project, show that urban efficiency, poverty reduction, and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Earlier this week the Chicago Tribune ran an important op ed on Chicago’s public transportation by University of Illinois Chicago Associate Professor of Urban Planning and Policy Kate Lowe. As she notes, the impending $730 million deficit for Chicago's public transit by 2026 threatens deep service cuts, risking job loss, and isolating vulnerable communities, particularly on the Far South Side. Lowe highlights that the public transit service cuts could deepen environmental and economic disparities, and urges the need to take action to solve the fiscal crisis: “we need to grow the collective financial pie for transit, at the national, state and regional levels, which would benefit us all.” Read the article here https://lnkd.in/eRZxMS56
