Transit Tech is Civic Tech

  • サマリー

  • Imagine if a transit agency spent two million dollars building technology-thing (enhanced by AI) that doesn’t make public transit easier, isn’t associated with increased ridership, and never motivates a person to take a train instead of a car—but thing was delivered on time and won an innovation award.


    In one form or another, technology thing is omnipresent in the shower thoughts and napkin sketches of government decision-makers, soon to be putting their finishing touches on a business justification to fund more cool stuff.


    Is this the high-impact work we left the higher-paying private sector for?


    What can be done about technology thing? Our suggestion: transit tech teams working in government must adopt rider-centric methods to avoid the threat of initiatives that don’t address the public's concerns.
