Abstract:

To maintain the economic competitiveness and livability of communities, the Denver region’s major multimodal agencies have agreed to develop a Mobility Choice Blueprint — a coordinated strategy for how one can enable more accessible and effective transportation mobility choices to enhance the quality of life now and in the future. The Mobility Choice Blueprint process assessed a range of futures based on the complex interactions of technological, institutional, and societal forces. Global transportation experts, regional leaders, and a broad range of community members worked to understand the region’s transportation needs over the long term and map the future of mobility. The Blueprint reflects a deep understanding of external influences, organizational frameworks, and end-users of the transportation system. This Blueprint identifies a cohesive approach for adapting to new mobility technologies. Ideas from a wide range of stakeholders from across the region resulted in a set of recommended tactical actions consisting of policies, programs, and pilot projects.
