Transportation is in the midst of big changes from new transportation technologies, new institutions (shared mobility firms like Uber and Lyft), and changing attitudes (reduced car ownership as an example). Across the nation, the transportation industry is under pressure to take into account an increasingly complex transportation landscape.

In the process, we need to consider, but cannot yet accurately predict, the potential impact of Connected Vehicle (CV) and Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technologies on safety, vehicle ownership, road capacity, driving distances, land-use, and economic development.
