Transportation access is one of the fundamental objectives of the public sector as a means to provide access to jobs, services, recreation, and all other elements of the movement of people and goods. It is also one of the most important ways government can enable residents to live healthy, productive lives. Join Renee Autumn Ray, […]
Congestion pricing is an idea that has broad support from transportation practitioners. However, many elected officials and members of the general public are skeptical that these charges, which would apply to drivers on the busiest roads during the busiest times of day, are regressive fees. Well-designed congestion pricing policies can not only minimize impacts, but […]
Recent events have further highlighted the systemic inequities built into American society, and our transportation infrastructure is no exception. People of color consistently experience worse mobility outcomes than white people, with longer and more difficult trips to access employment and other critical needs. These barriers have a major impact on economic stability and wealth accrual. […]
Supply chain and logistics professionals are constantly adapting to technological and socioeconomic shifts in the mobility landscape. While nothing has tested supply chains like the current pandemic, the American public and the policymakers who serve them have never been more aware of the role that goods movement professionals play in delivering essential goods to families […]

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) can potentially offer a wide range of capabilities and connect people with goods and services. They can replace the human element for dangerous inspections, monitor environmental changes in remote locations, and potentially reduce the carbon footprint of portions of the transportation network. But until UAS are safely integrated in to the […]
Congestion pricing can be a valuable tool for regions to address congestion and meet goals for sustainability and equity. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) tools and electronic toll collection (ETC) technologies can enable congestion management systems that can sense, adapt, and influence driver behavior so that planners and policy makers can optimize their transportation networks. Given […]
COVID-19 has highlighted both the value of home delivery and contactless service. Automated vehicles (AV) could potentially enable both. Behind the scenes, companies are working to develop the technology to enable AV deliveries. Although widespread deployment is at least a few years away, such a service could have dramatic effects on local commerce and transportation, […]

The COVID-19 pandemic hammered state and municipal budgets across the United States. A recent analysis by the National League of Cities found that nearly two-thirds of localities ether paused or halted some capital expenditures and infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, and public transit. Some public transit agencies are beginning to plan for service reductions. At […]
California counties have held nearly 100 elections over four decades to consider imposing local option sales taxes (LOSTs) to fund transportation programs. Most LOST propositions have been successful even when they required a two-thirds supermajority, and when other tax-related measures have failed badly. This webinar will review the history of these measures, present their major […]
