TIL there is an open source project creating APIs and data frameworks for micro-mobility within cities called the Mobility Data Specification (#MDS). Complete with APIs for the provider to provide operational info/stats, and for the local government, providing geofence data and other operational requirements.
They say it can be used for scooters, bikes, carshare, and even delivery robots. Neat.

In a #networkscience class this semester specifically focused on urban contexts... only our second week in and we are discussing closeness/betweeness centrality, edge betweeness, and how all of this relates to transportation networks. Very broad, tough to grasp concepts for a beginner like me, but a real world example of edge weight regarding roads before and after floods made it all click for me. Can't wait for more!

Chicago CTA utilizing #OpenStreetMap for real time location display inside their busses! Love this feature!

Attended the last of the A2 Downtown planning meetings, and asked about #VMT. Turns out the city gets their seasonal traffic counts from Google, who sells them corridor specific data on how many cars take the roads.
I'm curious to know how this works... How much of this is just Google Maps/Waze/Phone pings, and how much of this is possibly what @pluralistic 's thread this week was about (cars reporting their location)
