S4E5: TIL about everyday travel

Roughly ten percent of the world’s CO2 emissions come from passenger vehicles: cars, pickups, motorcycles, buses, and taxis. So today, we’re going to zoom in on how people across the world get around every day, how that’s quickly changing, and what to consider when thinking about reducing carbon emissions from everyday travel. For this episode, we sat down with our former MIT colleague and transportation expert Dr. Joanna Moody.
Dr. Joanna Moody is a Researcher in the Transport Global Knowledge and Expertise Unit at the World Bank. She was previously the Research Program Manager for the MIT Energy Initiative's Mobility Systems Center: an industry-funded research consortium focused on the interaction between passenger and goods mobility, energy consumption, and climate change. Her research explores how travelers interact with technologies and policies, with a focus on how attitudes and social norms can shape more sustainable travel behavior. Dr. Moody received a Masters of Science in Transportation degree at MIT in 2016 and a PhD at MIT in 2019.

Let's just price most families out of owning a vehicle by making them all cost A small fortune. Then we can force families to take the bus or ride a bike.
