Agencies, local governments, and private companies across the country and the world are using new technology developments to innovate how transportation systems operate. People are using technology to get access to more mobility options than ever before. It's time to take a look at what these new opportunities mean in planning for our transportation future.
What can our region learn from those who are leading the charge? What innovation is already happening here? Join us for a special conversation about the future of mobility.
Agenda
Introduction: Robert Hampshire, University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute’s Human Factors group, where his work considers mobility services such as smart parking, connected vehicles, ride sharing, bike sharing, car sharing, and person-2-person car sharing.
(E.g., How can we leverage technology today in 2016 to provide better mobility – more convenient, less cost, greater service? How will new technology such as self-driving cars, ride sharing, and accessible data change our transportation infrastructure investment needs in the future? How will the future of transportation look differently in urban and rural areas?)
