SOCIETAL TRENDS DRIVING MOBILITY ON DEMAND (MOD)

Redefining Longevity

By 2045, the number of

Americans over age 65 will

increase by 77%

Population Growth and

Urbanization

In 30 years, our population is

expected to grow by about 70

million

•

TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS DRIVING MOD

Big Data and Analytics

Transportation increasingly

relying on data to drive decisions

and to enable innovative travel

options

Real-Time Travelers

72% of Americans own a

smartphone, with access to up-

to-the- minute traveler

information

•

MOBILITY & ENVIRONMENTAL TRENDS DRIVING MOD

Increasing Congestion

On average, Americans spend

over 40 hours stuck in traffic

each year, costing $121 billion

Mobility Choices

There is growing popularity of

shared mobility and shared

modes, such as bikesharing,

carsharing, and ridesourcing

SHIFTING TRANSPORTATION LANDSCAPE

• State and local DOTs leveraging ridesourcing/TNCs,

taxis, and volunteer drivers to address service gaps

• Integrated multimodal traveler information apps

improving to include a variety of public and private

options

• Carpool and ridesharing start-ups enabling high-

occupancy commuting

• Auto manufacturers rebranding as mobility companies,

acquiring start-ups, and pursuing self-driving vehicles

• Mobility as a Service (MaaS) piloting in Europe (e.g.,

Finland, Sweden, Netherlands)

Innovative partnerships and technologies are

changing how we travel

ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION – THE COMPLETE TRIP

1. Plan and Book a Trip

Andy uses a pre-trip concierge application.

2. Travel to Transit Station

An automated shuttle (rideshare service) is

dispatched.

3. Ride the Bus

While on the bus, Andy receives direction on when to pull the Stop Request cord from his wayfinding

and navigation application.

4. Cross the Street

As Andy approaches an intersection, his safe intersection crossing

application communicates with the traffic signal.

5. Arrival at Destination

Andy safely arrives at his destination, while the pre-trip concierge application plans his

return trip home.
