For many Americans, mobility can make all the difference in their ability to meet basic needs, participate fully in community life, and connect and contribute to our national economy. In Episode 11 of Transit Trends, we talk with Anita Cozart, Senior Director at PolicyLink, a national research and advocacy institute that “connects the work of people on the ground to the creation of sustainable communities of opportunity that allow everyone to participate and prosper.”

“I think we keep the show so that it could be interesting for my mom to watch, but also can still be interesting for someone who is in the industry to watch, because we know—and I know, as a former traffic anchor—people love to talk about transportation. They love to talk about traffic. If you check out some of the comments, it’s a place for people go to talk about these various topics and for us to engage in either our users or our clients or industry experts or…students. So it’s a platform for people to engage in this conversation and learn about what’s trending in transportation.”

Transit Trends Episode 6: Are We Ready for Autonomous Vehicles?

Thursday, September 1st, 2016

It’s safe to say the creation and rollout of autonomous vehicles is the hot topic of the transportation industry now. Each major car company has plans to move forward with these vehicles in the next five or so years.
