Herbert Mohring

Herbert Mohring was an influential American economist, best known for his work in transportation economics and public policy during the mid-20th century. One of his key contributions is the "Mohring Effect," which describes how increased public transit service can lead to more people using it, breaking the cycle of underuse. His research highlighted the importance of efficiency, network design, and the relationship between transportation systems and urban development. Mohring's ideas continue to shape modern discussions on public transportation and its role in enhancing urban mobility and accessibility.
