9. Policy: Infrastructure
⢠Highway Trust Fund Is Tapped Out
⢠American Society of Civil Engineers:
âInfrastructure Grade D+
⢠$1.44 Trillion Short on Investment through 2025
14. Transportation Infrastructure
and Cities
⢠Pre 1950: Falling transportation costs, growing central
cities
⢠1950-1990: Falling transportation costs, growing
metropolitan areas and declining central cities
⢠1990-2015: Stabilizing transportation costs and
stabilizing central cities.
⢠What next? Impacts of TNCs
21. Transportation in the Digital
Age: 3 Main Players
1 Increased Options 2 Mobiles
3 Cashless Transactions
22. Transportation in the Digital Age:
Increased Options for Consumers
From Binary transportation modes
(car or transit)
Private
Car
Public
Transit
OR
To Multi-modal
(transit and rideshare and bike and
car share andâŚ)
23. Transportation in the Digital
Age: Loss of Public Benefits
Greater Options
Decreased
Service Rates
Longer Wait
Times
Less Usage
24. Transportation in the Digital
Age: Loss of Public Benefits
Less Transit
Loss of âAgglomerationâ
Benefits
Less Density
25. Infrastructure: Automation
Less need for
parking
Changing road
design
Multiple
passengers in
shared cares
Roadways
more densely
used
May reduce
infrastructure
needs
Transit
Seriously
Challenged
Need
sophisticated
automation to
compete
May change
transit
investments
Transportation in the Digital
Age: A Changing Landscape
26. Infrastructure: Automation
⢠Infrastructure Savings Depends in Part on
â Future Land Use Patterns
â Status of Transit
⢠Congestion increase if transit uncompetitive-> more
infrastructure
Transportation in the Digital
Age: A Changing Landscape
28. ⢠Remote parking
⢠Denser centers (maybe)
⢠Lower travel costs -> More travel,
greater decentralization
Automation: Land Use &
Development
Transportation in the Digital
Age: A Changing Landscape
29. ⢠Cannot satisfy demand for larger scale
transportation
The Next Big Digital Implication:
Autonomous Vehicles
Transportation in the Digital
Age: A Changing Landscape
30. ⢠Potential agglomeration loss
⢠Access for lower income citizens could be
adversely impacted
