The Scott Institute supported this study on how extreme weather, like this week's intense heat, affects transportation choices.
How have you been riding out this heat wave? To better understand how transportation behavior changes in extreme heat, EPP and @CMU_CEE researchers analyzed patterns in the use of driving services like Uber and Lyft under heat warnings and advisories. https://t.co/9XEU7Tc7Oy
