This week on City Talks, brought to you by Ford Motor Company, Author of Net Positive, Adviser to Multinationals and our host Andrew Winston talks with Dr. Regina Clewlow, CEO and Founder of Populus, a data platform helping cities to manage the future of mobility. Dr. Clewlow received her PhD in transportation systems from MIT, holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, as well as a Masters in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Cornell. She’s also served as a Transportation Researcher at Stanford, UC Berkeley and UC Davis. This episode is all about transportation policy. It is about the data and the collection methods that help aid and inform policy creation in our country. Together Andrew and Dr. Clewlow discuss the story behind starting Populus and a few of the ways unstudied and unregulated scooters, cars, and bikes can present problems for city planners. Learn firsthand about Mobility Data Specification and its value for validating policy and how cities are building digital infrastructure to aid with mobility and mobility side effects like congestion or curbside pickup. Data collection in cities is changing how communities build, grow, and expand. Populus has been working with the United States Department of Transportation and using micromobility data to improve safety in transportation for everyone. In this episode, you will gain some insight into the newest and most effective methods for data collection and how this data is then being used to derive and enforce policies to make mobility more accessible and effective for everyone within a community. It is through data collection that policymakers are able to glean a real understanding of what is affecting a population’s mobility within the community. So get ready and come join us for a fun and informative episode of City Talks, presented by the Ford Motor Company!
