Overview
The NYU Rudin Center for Transportation specializes in policy related to the future of urban mobility. In the Future of Mobility workshops, the NYU Rudin Center will convene subject matter experts and government leaders. During the workshop, speakers and participants will identify policy initiatives and needs for seamless, technology-enabled urban travel.
The themes for these three workshops will be: the Three Revolutions (automated, shared and electric); Women’s Challenges in Mobility; and a Startup Showcase.
The NYU Rudin Center is uniquely poised to recommend initiatives to policymakers due to the Center’s relationships with industry leaders and New York City and State officials. By hosting this workshop series, the NYU Rudin Center will heighten the local discussion level about these topics, strengthen policymakers’ knowledge, and educate the public about key issues.
The first workshop in the series took place on May 23. More information is available on the event page.
