[Re]generation of Mobility

Our legacy transportation networks and systems were based on choices that worked for the times but are unsuitable and outdated for the future we need. Inequitable and poorly planned infrastructure presents challenges not aligned with our vision of a highly mobile and accessible future our communities need to thrive. With extensive investments underway and upcoming, we have a unique opportunity to establish a new legacy of ‘paying forward’ our choices.

Shaping a future of equitable, accessible, and sustainable transportation

Plan for a future that emphasizes safety, convenience, and accessibility for all generations, promoting the use of various modes of transportation. This report examines the shift from prioritizing vehicle speed and flow to focusing on human safety, equity, and accessibility in mobility design. Utilizing Industry and GHD’s CROSSROADS research along with real-world case studies, the report explores how improved design, better data, and people-centered planning can contribute to safer and more inclusive communities.
