Transit Deserts USA project recently won the 2018 USDOT CM2 Best Equity Project Award (one of the three major awards) during the CM2 Transportation Summer Forum at the University of Pennsylvania, June 18-20, 2018. This forum brought together the consortium of institutions that represent the Tier 1 University Transportation Center: the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Texas at Austin, Texas Southern University, Louisiana State University, FHWA and USDOT officials. Researchers convened to host a discussion on megaregional trends and prospects, as well as an academic forum to introduce and share institutional research. Ultimately, the forum represents a unique opportunity for the consortium to gather together, reflect on the research that has been done, share research results with interested faculty and local professionals, and plan for future iterations of megaregional research.
