Description

The Third Transportation Revolution is here. The world’s urban mobility ecosystem has seen a shift reflecting new technologies, shared transportation systems, and rights-of-way usage (roads, “bike” lanes, sidewalks). Micro-Mobility (mini-EVs, bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards, etc.) is a sea change that’s already here and needs to be addressed, as autonomous vehicles and flying “cars” are on the horizon.


The policy and design issues surrounding this new and growing type of personal mobility, be it personally owned electric skateboards, dock-less bikes, or shared electric scooters, are challenges which governments, businesses, advocacy groups, and regular citizens are all struggling to address.

This conference brings together thought leaders from government, industry, and user groups to explore the technological, policy, and physical infrastructure complications we must address as we jointly move into this New Urban Mobility future.
