Policy, People, Technology: Future of Mobility

This lecture by the instructor explores how policy, people, and technology will shape the future of mobility, focusing on innovative governance of large urban systems, the impact of electric scooters, increased autonomous vehicles, and the design gap in mobility. It also discusses the business model in public transportation, the decline in US transit ridership, transportation infrastructure spending, the rise of ride-hailing services, and the concept of microtransit as a new model. Case studies from Orange County and different business models in public-private partnerships are presented, along with the global growth of ride-hailing users and the changing landscape of transit ridership in major US and French urban areas.
