Morning Panel

Technology-Enabled Ridematching:  How it is Re-Defining Ridesharing Arrangements - Panel presented by the Transportation Demand Management Institute (TDMI), 8:30am, April 18

 

Ridesharing is not a new concept; however within the past few years there is new technology through the private sector that has expanded the range of how the public shares the ride whether for work or other purposes. This panel discussion will explore the current status of these new ridematching services along with how the taxi cab and insurance industries view these services. The traditional TDM industry will also offer a perspective on whether or not these services are truly providing "shared commuter trips." Join the dialogue on whether or not these new "ridesharing services" will replace the need for traditional TDM services and whether new technology-enabled ridematching services should be re-classified or re-defined as a separate mobility mode. 

Keynote Speaker

Jeff Speck - Keynote Presented by The Mobility Lab, 10:15am, April 18

Jeff Speck is a city planner and architectural designer based in Washington, DC.  Mr. Speck has dedicated his career to determining what makes cities thrive, and has boiled it down to one key factor: walkability.  Using writing, lectures and built work, Jeff advocates internationally for smart growth and sustainable design. In his essential new book, Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time, Mr.Speck reveals the invisible workings of the city, how simple decisions have cascading effects, and how we can all make the right choices for our communities. Mr. Speck will discuss his book, its relationship to the TDM field, and lay out a practical, necessary, and eminently achievable vision of how to make our normal American cities great again.
