• Law enforcement
interaction plan
 Others?
• What are Cities doing?
 Testing!
 Resolutions

5. Two-Way Street Pilot Projects
• Collaboration!
• Transparency
Innovative RFP’s
and Contracts
• Information sharing
Proprietary Issues
• Public Outreach /
Education
• Trust!

7. Privacy
•Agency Policy?
Data Retention
Contractor
Requirements?

8. ROW Competing Interests

9. Connectivity
• What is going to be
needed?
Sensors?
Antennas?
V2X?
• Local control of ROW
• What is technology of
the future?

10. Hot Off the Press!
• Recommendations:
 Start planning NOW
 Get the right people in the
room to develop policies

13.  50000 lives saved
 Twice Access
 Electric Vehicle Adoption
 Independence
 Connectivity
 Ubiquitous Mobility
 Faster, cheaper delivery
 Economic Renaissance

14. Fundamentals
• Adoption of tech to meet current objectives of
safety, livable communities, innovation hubs, access
• Early, effective, sustained community engagement
and public education
• Partnerships within public sector agencies, and
between the public and private sector to design,
plan, fund, and manage mobility services for all
• Adaptive, flexible, planning that cuts across internal
and externals stakeholders
• Using transportation, land use, and legal tools you
have now and creating the ones that you need
• Research and analysis to assess and adjust practices
and policies

15. • Start with Smart; Plan for Connected
Vehicle
• Focus on the Road--- Passenger and
Freight
• Shift from Transportation to Mobility
Model
• Passenger Vehicles: “Transit”
Applications
Fleets, Shuttles vs. Coaches, Shared
Mobility
• Freight/Delivery: Distinguish between
Long haul versus First Last Mile
Ways to Shape Early
Deployments

19. Funding and Finance
• Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT)
• Monetizing data created by use of
the publicly funded infrastructure
• Expanding advertising
• Charging a convenience fee for
mobile fares
• Selling subscriptions
• Commuter stores
• Requiring providers National Transit
Data (NTD) reporting
• Tax Increment funding
• Value capture
•Congestion pricing
road & curbside

20. Transportation

24. AV ACHILLES’ HEELS
(or why active modes & transit still matter)
Just-for-cars planning failed
Throughput & infrastructure limits
Pedestrian versus car
Which mode is hackproof?

25. THIS PRESENTATION
1. Autonomous Vehicle Pilots
2. Infrastructure & Mobility Hubs
3. Three Things You Can Do Now

26. AV PILOTS
City of Las Vegas
What’s the Role of:
• Individual Cars
• Shared Use (SAVs)
• Shuttles – the “Missing
Middle” of transit
• Larger Transit

27. AV PILOTS What is a planner’s role in pilots?
• Outreach & engagement
• Components
• Management
• Safety
• Data and information sharing
• Insurance
• Benchmarks & data for scale
• Implementation – Regulatory/Code
Audits
• Integration into formal plans &
programs

28. AV PILOTS
Uneven, gradual, not just cities
Strong & Fearless Enthused & Confident Interested but Concerned No Way No How
Private Campus Pilot
Speaker Series + Demos
Business District Pilot

29. INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE
Why should planners care?
“Use & access of public infrastructure should
be subject to pay-as-you-go user fees”
Los Angeles Transportation Technology Plan

30. INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE
Planners & the new value capture
• Digital Infrastructure for V2X
• Data Tug of War
• Public Health
• Sidewalk + Curbs
• Air Space as Infrastructure

31. INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE
Sidewalk Demand Management Planning

32. INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE
Curbside Pricing is where the $ & incentives are

33. INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE
Street Design + Mobility Hubs + AV service
Transit Corridor

34. MOBILITY ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT
Transit
• Move lots of people
Spines & Circulators
• Transit + Pedestrian Spine
• Parallel Spines
• Fixed route Circulators
• On-demand Circulators
• Hybrid Circulators
• Periphery & Internal

35. INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE
Parking: Will change but how?
Architects
designing flexible,
convertible
buildings
First/Last mile
distribution
Pricing & roving
AVs

36. Transitions: Mobility Hub Use Cases + 1st/last Mile
Urban Transit Station Areas
Corridors
Suburban Retrofit
