New Report: Re-Programming Mobility

Anthony Townsend's new report on the future of transportation:

"With generous support from the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management has developed a set of four alternative future scenarios set in a selection of representative U.S. metropolitan areas in 2030. Based on our synthesis of current and anticipated technological innovations and expert speculation on their impacts from over 150 source documents, these scenarios highlight:

likely and possible shifts in the market for mobility, public financing schemes, and the overall structure and function of the U.S. transportation system at a metropolitan level,
the kinds of organizational changes that transportation regulators, funding agencies, and public planning institutions need to begin preparing for now, and
the kinds of skills and practices that might be required of transportation planners in the future."
