Author Description

Changes in technology provide opportunities and risks to mobility, particularly as they relate to traditionally and newly underserved populations. In recent years, economic, environmental, and social forces have quickly given rise to shared and on-demand mobility—a collective of entrepreneurs and consumers leveraging technology to maximize transportation and financial resources and generate capital. For instance, shared mobility services have become part of a trend that has pushed shared, on-demand mobility from the fringe into the mainstream. TCRP Research Report 244/NCHRP Research Report 1101: Transformational Technologies and Mobility Inclusion Playbook, from TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program and National Cooperative Highway Research Program, is a playbook of resources for public and private entities to assess, plan, and measure their progress toward achieving transportation equity and inclusive mobility in an era of transformational technology. Supplemental to the report are a Research Background, Appendix B: Stakeholder Interviews,Appendix C: Underserved Population Focus Groups, and Appendix D: Underserved Population Survey.
