Posted 4 months ago
One of the most persistent challenges in public transportation is the "first-and-last mile" (FM/LM) problem: how riders travel from their trip origin, such as homes or workplaces, to the nearest transit stop, and then from the disembark stop to their final destination. In my recent PhD research, published in Travel Behaviour and Society, I examined how bike share systems can help bridge this gap in Hamilton, Ontario.

“For the first time, we have a comprehensive and actionable overview of palliative care in Ontario. This Atlas helps us see what’s working, reveals the inequities and gaps that too many patients and families experience, and provides us with the knowledge to change that. If we want to build a health system that truly delivers compassion, dignity, and quality of life at every stage of care, then palliative care must be part of the foundation. With this Atlas, we now have the tools to make that vision a reality for everyone in Ontario.”
