New Mobilities : Smart Planning for Emerging Transportation Technologies, Paperback by Litman, Todd, ISBN 164283145X, ISBN-13 9781642831450, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Litman, a research and planning consultant who is associated with an independent research organization that develops innovative solutions to transport problems, examines 12 emerging transportation technologies and services: active travel and micromobilities like walking and bicycling, vehicle sharing, ridehailing and microtransit, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, public transport innovations, navigation and transport payment apps that integrate multiple modes, teleworking as a substitute for physical travel, tunnel roads and pneumatic tube transport, aviation innovation, pricing systems and incentives that favor higher-value trips and more efficient modes, and integrated freight delivery services. He offers practical guidance for optimizing these emerging technologies and services and evaluates the benefits and costs, how they can impact people's lives and communities, and how to prepare to maximize their benefits and minimize their costs. He discusses how previous transportation innovations impacted people and communities, including their economic, social, and environmental effects; the context of transportation planning, including its principles; a comprehensive analysis framework for new technologies and services; evaluation of each of the new mobilities, along with ratings and comparisons based on specific planning goals; and recommendations for optimizing new mobilities.
