New framework AGORA tackles participation bias in transit planning

Researchers have developed AGORA, a framework designed to mitigate participation bias in transit planning by using stakeholder agents, structured deliberation, and governance gates. The study found that while aggregate outcomes remained largely consistent, representative sampling improved tail risk and fairness disparity. Deliberation was identified as the key mechanism through which attendee composition influences results, and governance gates were shown to reduce outcome variance without significantly altering average results, though calibration is necessary for specific thresholds.
