| 摘要： | Transit is a critical factor in the accessibility of economic and social opportunities for people who do not have access to a personal vehicle. With these services alone, transit has earned its keep as one of the greatest equalizers in society. However, as the world continues to evolve, the transit industry has an enormous opportunity to extend its reach beyond taking people from one place to another and become a solution to one ot the greatest threats to communities in today's world: resilience. All over the news, resilience is one of today's hottest topics. From wildfires, to hurricanes, to extreme temperatures, to floods, communities around the world have experienced situations in recent years in which their resilience has been tested. During these events, energy becomes a scarce resource. Utility lines are ripped out by strong winds, or the grid gets overloaded by a high demand for air conditioning or heating, and thousands, sometimes millions, of people may be left without energy. In the best-case scenario, people are left without energy for a few hours, and it is an inconvenience. In the worst-case scenario, people may be left without energy for days during inclement weather, and it can be a matter of life and death. |
