Contact Tracing: Driving Participation, Scale & Innovation From a Mobility Framework
Thursday, July 23, 2020 2:00pm EST
Description
COVID-19 is driving behavior change where we live, work and play. Creating a zero-incident safety culture at work is now an incomplete effort without a strong mobility policy. We’ve been sheltering in place for months, staying as safe as possible in quarantine. Now that businesses are reopening and we’re venturing back to our places of work, we’re all at far greater risk of exposure - but not only to COVID in indoor air scenarios. We’re also at greater risk of a return to poorer outdoor air quality as we see traffic and congestion return to pre-COVID levels. In the context of mobility strategy, we should absorb, adapt to and also leverage the pandemic driven policy and behavior changes that benefit society, while planning how best to measure and motivate additional changes in our mobile future.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that dramatic behavior change, at unprecedented scale, is not only possible, it offers us real time evidence of how critical it is to nudge and to invest in behavior change solutions for the health and environmental challenges we must solve. With COVID-19, employees are justifiably demanding a safer workplace. Now is also the time to address their demand for a safer commute to the workplace. A safe workplace depends on timely data, and a verified commute to that location using a personal mobility log helps to make contact tracing more efficient.
This program will explore systems, strategies and a vision for leadership to embrace the beneficial changes that we’ve experienced, while addressing the privacy, participation and scale issues that concern us all.

Gov Martin O'Malley, Former Governor of MarylandMartin O’Malley has spent his entire career fighting for underserved and middle-class communities. He has served as the Governor of Maryland, Mayor of Baltimore, and a city councilor—earning a reputation as a bold, progressive, and pragmatic executive who is willing to take on tough shared challenges.
Recognizing the threat that climate change posed to Maryland’s coastal communities, O’Malley took action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, invest in renewable energy, and grow green jobs. He also worked to uplift the dignity of all Marylanders—by signing marriage equality into law, abolishing the death penalty, and passing the DREAM Act to expand the opportunity of a college education to more local students.
In 2015, O’Malley left office and was, as he says, “elevated to the role of citizen.” He and his wife, Katie, a District Court judge, live in Baltimore with their four children.
Governor O’Malley has also written a new book, that you can read more about here: https://www.amazon.com/Smarter-Government-Govern-Results-Information/dp/1589485246
