Posted on: May 11, 2020

[ARCHIVED] This week: May 14th--The Future of Transportation: Connecting the Dots

May 14, 2020: Planning Commission and Nitty Gritty Committee. Transportation Roundtable Discussion with Shelley Row. Virtual, via the City’s YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/CityofAnnapolis), 7 pm. Shelley will present "The Future of Transportation: Connecting the Dots."

Disruptive technology is creating an upheaval in transportation. Self-driving cars, connected vehicles mobility-as-a-service and more challenge the definition of transportation. Travelers have individualized information at their fingertips and expect the same from transportation. A data avalanche is starting from connected and automated vehicles and location-based services. In this environment, uncertainty abounds. Some of these disruptions have started; others will arrive within 10 to 20 years. In the
meantime, many capital investments for transportation infrastructure last 50 years or more. Transportation planning and investments continue business-as-usual when business is anything but usual. Are you watching key trends and connecting the dots to assess the impacts to your agency and business?
