What does it take to keep the nation’s third largest transit system running in the midst of a global pandemic? The MBTA has been hard at work adjusting schedules and employing new cleaning procedures to protect their workers and riders, and responding to service needs. Once jobs and businesses begin to re-open, how can the MBTA continue to allow people to be safe and feel comfortable getting back on transit? This talk explores what is happening globally as transit systems in other countries begin to welcome non-essential riders back and discusses what we can learn from their experiences. The conversation includes Heather Thompson from ITDP ([Institute for Transportation & Development Policy](https://www.itdp.org/) ) and Steven Higashide from [TransitCenter](https://transitcenter.org/).
