What are your ideas?
Cities weren’t prepared
“Only 3 percent of transit plans
are even taking into account the
impact of ride-hailing companies
like Uber and Lyft even though
they already operate in 60 of the
68 largest markets in the U.S.
That’s according to a content
analysis of transportation
planning documents from the
country’s 50 most populous
cities.”
But we’re catching up
People are demanding lots
1. Get active with apps
2. Tell stories
3. Open data/mobile tickets
“People talk about demand
for batteries for electric
cars, but about 60% of all
battery production in China
goes into e-bikes,” said Rob
Cotter of Organic Transit in
Durham, N.C.
4. Last-mile options
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s VTA FLEX pilot
5. Flexible pilot projects
6. Info in new places
