PittSmartLiving display at UPMC Presby

Our first PittSmartLiving displays that show location-specific real-time multimodal transportation information went live today in the lobby areas of all three hospitals in Oakland:

The displays show real-time information provided by our partner TransitScreen. The displayed information includes Port Authority bus arrival times, HealthyRide bike availability, UPMC Shuttle arrivals, Pitt Shuttle arrivals, and Zipcar/Uber availability.

Thank you very much to our UPMC partners for being early adopters!

PittSmartLiving pilot project started

Seed funding for the PittSmartLiving project was provided by the University of Pittsburgh (Office of the Vice Provost for Research) in the Fall of 2016. The goal of the pilot study was to evaluate the benefits of making real­time transportation information available to city­ dwellers and also the potential impact of incentives as a way to encourage pro­social behavior.
