Intercity bus terminals are key links in the national bus network. We're losing some these terminals due to pressures for more lucrative land uses. The announced closing of Chicago's downtown Greyhound station will be impactful because about half a million passengers pass through it annually. How important are these terminals, not just locally, but in the national intercity bus network? Is there a need for public intervention to save them? To explore the contributing factors, the implications of closures, and potential interventions, we talk with Professor Joseph Schwieterman of DePaul University in Chicago. Joe is Founding Director of DePaul's Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development, and the foremost scholar on intercity bus transportation in the U.S. He has a BS degree from Purdue, an MS in Transportation from Northwestern, and a Ph.D. in public policy from the University of Chicago.

Universities have become state-like entities, possessing their own hospitals, police forces, and real estate companies. To become such behemoths, higher education institutions relied on the state for resources and authority. Through government largesse and shrewd legal maneuvering, university administrators became powerful interests in urban planning during the twentieth century. LaDale Winling's Building the Ivory Tower: Universities and Metropolitan Development in the Twentieth Century (University of Pennsylvania Press) casts higher education as the beneficiary and catalyst of the century's monumental state building projects--receiving millions in New Deal construction funds, even more from WWII-era military research, and directing the bulldozer's path during urban renewal schemes around the country. As state-funding for higher education decreased in the second half of the twentieth century and universities became more dependent on endowment investment and commercial research, their interests diverged even more sharply from the needs and desires of surrounding communities. Winling discusses challenges he faced while researching the book, obstacles to organizing against harmful higher education practices today, and his ongoing digital project on redlining called Mapping Inequality. LaDale C. Winling is Associate Professor of History at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Patrick Reilly​ is a PhD student in US History at Vanderbilt University.

New “carpooling” services, such as LyftLine and UberPool, offers consumers lower prices than conventional ridesourcing service in exchange for extra stops to pick up and drop off other passengers. This presentation explores the competitive implications of this new mobility option for public transit. Professor Schwieterman shares results from his controlled experiment in which data collectors made 50 one-way trips between various urban locations to measure the differing costs, time, and conveniences associated with UberPool and Chicago Transit Authority service, an approach that controls for a wide variety of others factors, such as time of day, weather, and traffic conditions. The results show that saving from carpooling for commuter traveling downtown jobs in small, but the $5 - $6 additional cost to carpool is an attractive “value proposition” for many travelers who have historically used transit on neighborhood-neighborhood trips. Speaker: Joseph Schwieterman Director, Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development Professor, DePaul University Joseph Schwieterman is professor at DePaul University in Chicago and Director of the school’s Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development. A noted authority on passenger travel, he has twice testified on transportation issues before subcommittees of the U.S. Congress.
