Presenters from the Shared Use Mobility Center will outline findings and insights from this research about how, when, and where TNCs are most frequently used and the relationship between TNC use, transit ridership and driving commutes. They also will provide a range of recommendations that may assist public transit agencies and other public entities attempting to engage with TNC services in large, mid-sized, and smaller urban areas.
