What Will It Take to Ensure Equity in a Transit/AV Future?

1.5 CM / LU Pending

It is said that TNCs are just AVs with a driver. Compared with taxis, TNCs are closing the equity gap, but their direct competition with transit in some markets makes it unclear whether they are creating a more equitable transportation system overall. Using findings from the Cincinnati Mobility Lab and the Union of Concerned Scientists self-driving cars study, this session will explore how the rapid growth of TNCs is affecting the equity of the transportation system as a whole and the implications this has for an AV future.
