1.5 CM / LU Pending

Cities and governments are faced with the need to manage the interaction of emerging and future transportation modes with existing private and public transportation. The impacts on congestion, the environment, and social equity of TNCs, scooters, and autonomous vehicles are not fully understood. Yet, as these technologies may mature and reach scale quickly, stakeholders are looking for policies and technological solutions that will help them achieve manageable outcomes and will adapt and scale as new modes grow. This panel will explore a range of policy frameworks that could govern tradeoffs between transportation modes and help cities accomplish social goals through pricing and other incentives.
