Welcome to CDM Smith.

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?
