📆 During this week's event ‘The Future of #RideHailing in Europe’ organised by Centre on Regulation in Europe (CERRE), panellists discussed the fragmented ride-hailing regulatory landscape in the EU and took stock of the 2022 European Commission Notice on Local passenger transport-on-demand (taxis and PHV). 🚗 🚕 Move EU Chair Aurelien Pozzana emphasised the role that ride-hailing can play in reducing dependency on privately owned cars but underlined that much still has to be done so that national and local ride-hailing regulations are modernized and more balanced in order to serve the mobility needs of European citizens. DG MOVEs’ Jean-Louis Colson stated that Member States and their authorities are progressively taking the 2022 Notice into account, and the European Commission is referring to it when dealing with complaints about local ride-hailing regulations. 🔮 What’s next? The European Commission may come forward with an updated version of the notice, taking into account aspects that were not covered yet, such as quotas, price limitations and conclusions from recent court cases.

As we near the close of Asian & Pacific American Heritage Month, I think it's important to highlight the historic contributions of Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S. While you could write several books on the matter, I'll share some brief history from the transportation/infrastructure space about the Transcontinental Railroad. In the mid-1800's, thousands of Chinese immigrants came to cash in on California's Gold Rush. Unfortunately, many were too late and settled for work on the railroads (or restaurants and laundries like my great-great-grandfather in 1868). The railroad workers bore through hundreds of miles of inhospitable Sierra Nevada terrain for low wages in harsh and unsafe conditions. The railroad was ceremoniously completed with a golden spike in Promontory Summit, Utah, but when a photo was taken to commemorate the occasion, the Chinese were deliberately omitted. We've come a long way from these times, but Asians and Asian-Americans alike still struggle for recognition in our workplaces and communities (see "model minority myth" and "Asian Americans are not a monolith"). I hope that we may we continue to advocate for ourselves and support each other in our fight to be seen for all that we do and all that we truly are! https://lnkd.in/eZQcQe9U #transportation #infrastructure #aapi #asianamerica #chineseamerican #ushistory

Having infrastructure will not change the lives of people who are not ready to change their lives. For changes, very strong and long shocks are used so that changes become a habit, as well as strict systemic restrictions, such as monetary ones. But this is model of the world, where upbringing, education, teaching, mentoring are control functions, and in fact they break. The era of endless growth clearly confirms this. We work poorly with consciousness, without which any changes are not possible in principle. and the reason is not in people, but in the social environment and the economy it generates. As soon as we stop doing nonsense, spending our limited resources on it and get down to business not busyness, the issues of socialization of consciousness will become a thing of the past, like many other problems. Also have a living environment that will make adjustments to the development model of both the individual and society. Stars and following is not a panacea. We must stop judging by exclusive examples if we do not want to wander for the next 40 years... although at the moment it is already less
