Driving Change: Research, Policy, and Practice in the Transportation Sector

June 17 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Leslie Richards discusses TRIP’s first year turning research into real-world transit and mobility solutions

Leslie Richards, the former CEO and General Manager of SEPTA and PennDOT Secretary, recently launched the Transportation Initiative at Penn (TRIP) a new program that brings together scholars, students, public agencies, and private partners to address today’s complex mobility challenges. TRIP’s mission is to turn academic research into actionable transportation solutions that improve transit efficiency, mobility access, and sustainability in Philadelphia, across Pennsylvania, and nationwide. Leslie will discuss lessons learned from the first year of TRIP, including ways to accelerate the adoption of innovative transportation technologies, the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to complex governance challenges, and ways to bridge the gaps between research and practice.

This event will be held at the new Village of Industry & Art at 320 S. Broad Street.

Registration is not required for in-person events, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served.
