A story about work by Professor Moshe Ben-Akiva and Maya Abou-Zeid S.M. ’03, Ph.D. ’09 appeared in the Dec. 12 issue of Atlantic Cities. The article, “Even American Drivers Like Mass Transit More Than They Think,” focuses on a study run by Ben-Akiva and Abou-Zeid in 2008 encouraging MIT employees with full-time parking permits to commute by transit for a one-week trial period. The study found that nearly 30 percent of participants had switched to public transit after the trial ended, and 25 percent continued to use public transit six months later.
