⬆️ vehicle ownership in car-dependent & slow growth cities
⬇️ transit ridership most in cities with higher income & fewer children

@CostaSamaras @inesliaz @alehenao10 @CMUVEG @CMU_EPP In our new paper in @iScience_CP, we leverage the fact that Uber/Lyft entered 224 US cities by 2017 with staggered timing to isolate changes caused by Uber/Lyft from other changes over time and other differences among cities. 2/8
@CostaSamaras @inesliaz @alehenao10 @CMUVEG @CMU_EPP @iScience_CP On average, people buy *more* cars when Uber/Lyft arrive, especially in car-dependent and slow-growth cities, like St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. 3/8
