Last month my group received a one-year seed grant from Northwestern University’s McCormick Catalyst  Fund to study transportation equity.   The main idea is to  incorporate various ethical theories into  public transportation system design and analyze the implications.   The project initially  originated from my interest in the theory of justice (see my review of John Rawls’ book).  More details about the project can be found here.  Stay tuned for a forthcoming paper that summarizes some initial results.
