Besides this project being an affront to actual durable, efficient, green and transformative public transportation, the public safety issues of this system remain largely unresolved in my view - particularly on the evacuation plan in any given stretch of this system, particularly with those with #mobility needs.

Ok. Maybe it's time to #introduce myself - again - since moving to another instance. I usually work on knowledge for #road authorities in the field of #transport#planning and #traffic#engineering. Special interest goes to all types of #smart#mobility. In the mean time, I try to do a PhD research project on #community#wellbeing and transport #policy. Living in #Ede, NL. 2 kids, 2 chickens, 1 spouse. I love #painting and #drawing but time is finite and procrastination always finds me.
"Fieldnotes on FlyingLess Conferencing:" Our reflection on European #STS conferencing via #train is published in the EASST review. This is an intervention to think about less energy-intensive #mobility forms for conferences. #transition#flyingless
