ITE Annual Meeting & Exhibit Session:
Sharing is Caring: What Does the Future of the Sharing Economy Look Like for Transportation Providers? (Monday, August 15, 2:00 – 3:30 p.m.)
Developed in collaboration with the Federal Highway Administration Office of Operations
There has been a rapid expansion of shared mobility services – carsharing, bikesharing, and transportation network companies such as Uber and Lyft. Coined as “disruptive technologies,” these and other innovative services challenge existing regulatory structures but enjoy growing popularity and usage within communities. The result is conflict with local regulators, policy makers, and existing transportation services. This session provides insight into the many dimensions of these new services and how to embrace and effectively integrate them into existing transportation systems.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify key facets of the sharing economy that affect the community, transportation providers, public agencies, and consultants.
- Describe methods to effectively utilize and integrate sharing economy technologies into existing systems
