Decisions about purchasing electric buses have recently become more complex with the hard-to-predict, back-and-forth machinations of the new Administration regarding support versus disdain for electric vehicles. #bustransportation #publictransportation #expertwitness #bussafety #publictransitexpert https://lnkd.in/eqv7Pq3P

Expert Witness Perspective: The dynamics of public transportation modes and causes of accidents
关于我们
After receiving his Masters in Urban & Regional Planning from GWU, TA founder & President Ned Einstein began his more than 40-year career in the passenger transportation field following a year consulting to the Illinois Department of Transportation as a consultant to the US Department of Transportation and its Urban Mass Transportation Administration (currently the Federal Transit Administration) in the transit field, and later, as a consultant to the USDOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMCSA) in the motorcoach field, and working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the school bus field. He began his work in the paratransit field by directing the USDOT’s first nationwide study of transportation systems for elderly and disabled individuals, examining 30 systems in 18 U.S. cities, and resulting in USDOT’s publication of a three-volume manual on decision-making, system design and operations authored by Mr. Einstein. Mr. Einstein's focus has shifted the past two decades — increasingly toward the provision of expert witness services — while periodically conducting and participating in consulting efforts in almost every passenger transportation sector. In the consulting arena, many of Mr. Einstein's projects were almost legendary, including his coordination of the design and marketing efforts associated with a European-manufactured school bus and motorcoach exported to and sold in North America, and 10 years spent operating a 70-vehicle consolidated paratransit and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) system. His consulting experiences are unique in that he is one of the few professionals in the entire field who was involved deeply in projects at the planning/system design level, the policy-making level, the operating level (particularly including training, monitoring and evaluation), in virtually every mode, and the automotive level.

Often, much more public funding is squandered on needless and overly-expensive technology when the simplest of primitive and almost cost-free devices would suffice. #passengerrailservice #passengerrailexpert #expertwitness #publictransportation #passengerrailsafety https://lnkd.in/eimtWQxq

The pros and cons for congestion pricing to not appear to align intelligibly with the political positions of state and Federal officials – and these positions likely represent solely the dislike of one political official for another. #publictransportation #publictransitexpert #expertwitness #congestionpricing #transportationdecisionmaking? https://lnkd.in/eW_BYc-z

In addressing dysfunction and waste, we must recognize the difference between generalists/administrators and experts with a mastery of the subject matter. Only such experts can fix the corruption and waste within USDOT. #usdepartmentoftransportation #publictransit #publictransportation #expertwitness ?? https://lnkd.in/eqYEJeDG

Driving a motorcoach in Today’s regulatory environment is often a treacherous, physically-demanding job, and our values compound the structural problems. #castrophicmotorcoachaccidents #motorcoachaccidents #publictransitaccidents #expertwitness??#busspeedingaccidents https://lnkd.in/eW4TMZFM

Even before COVID-19, fixed route ridership was declining significantly, and since COVID it has not recovered. Nationwide, fares cover a tiny share of operating costs. Transit may soon be gone in much of this country.? #transit #publictransit #fareevasion #expertwitness #transitaccidents https://lnkd.in/eYQ7xer4

A few unique urban forms lend themselves well the in deployment of electric buses, as route configurations limit the number of costly charging stations. #buses #electricbuses #transitsystems #transitridership? https://lnkd.in/ez2Upm7B

Electric buses also make no sense in moderately-sized cities with small fleets with spread-out routes because (a) they create imperceptible pollution and (b) charging stations cost a fortune. #buses #electricbuses #expertwitness #transit https://lnkd.in/ee2HuFDG
