− | |Marco Chitti is an FRQSC Postdoctoral Researcher at McGill University and a Fellow at the Marron Institute of Urban Management at New York University. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Montreal, where he was honored with a Vanier CGS scholarship. Marco's research delves into the international diffusion of practices and ideas in urban planning, as well as transit project planning, design, and implementation from a global perspective. Notably, he co-authored the Transit Cost Project, a comprehensive study investigating the factors contributing to the wide international variability in capital costs of transit infrastructure. His focus extends to understanding why transit projects tend to be more costly to build in countries like Canada and the US compared to their international counterparts. Currently, Marco is exploring diverse topics including surface transit speed, reliability, and priority, mode choice, and transit governance. His overarching aim is to leverage insights from global best practices to enhance transit efficiency and effectiveness within the Canadian context. | + | |Marco Chitti is an FRQSC Postdoctoral Researcher at McGill University and a Fellow at the Marron Institute of Urban Management at New York University.
