Transportation Planning for the Autonomous Age
April 2018
Are you ready for the big changes set to disrupt how people and goods move?
It’s impossible to ignore the emergence of connected and autonomous vehicle technologies, and shifting social preferences toward mobility-as-a-service: ride, bike and car sharing, e-hailing and more. These trends pose new challenges to transportation planners as they consider the long-term future of their mobility networks.
Two of CDM Smith’s brightest transportation planning minds will share their insights and advice, covering topics including:
- What are the biggest changes impacting transportation systems over the coming years?
- How will these changes affect different aspects of the transportation ecosystem (e.g., mobility, vehicle miles traveled, land use, freight delivery)?
- Given the uncertainties surrounding emerging technologies, why is scenario planning a good way to augment traditional long-range planning?
- What short- and long-term actions should agencies take to prepare their systems for future success?
