The data used for our research is publicly available and can be downloaded here. We encourage the research community to join us in using this dataset to better understand what the post-COVID future will look like. One way you can do this is by attending our special COVID Future event at TRB. Join us from 5:30-7:30 on 1/11/22 in Convention Center Room 149 for an informal drop-in session to learn about the project and meet others working with this data.
