Transportation Trends from West Coast Summit

Participants at the Decision Lens Transportation Summit in San Francisco offered perspectives on the current transportation environment.  Below are some of the findings:

• In the future baby boomers will be retiring so there will be a larger working population.
• The Millenial generation will be choosing to use transit.
• People will be driving less and increasing in bicycle use and other modes of transportation (other than driving)
• Congestion pricing will become more of an issue and toll lanes will be increasing.

As a result, participants discussed the following transportation trends:

• Increase in ridership
• Demographic shift and behaviors
• Less VMT, Vehicles/HH
• Alternative Modes, Inter-modal
• The Multi-modal city
