Transportation + Economic Resilience
What we heard from practitioners:
• Economic development in transportation involves
deliberate interventions to produce tangible benefits that are specific to the context, are
sustained over time, and make a place more resilient.

Transformative Changes: Here, and Still ComingIncreasingly, need to plan for innovations in:
• Technology
• Energy
• Mindset shift: human-centered transportation
While still doing broad engagement, linking planning processes and programs, and connecting to implementation

• Connected vehicle (CV) technology: enable cars, buses, trucks, trains, roads and other infrastructure, and our smartphones and other devices to "talk" to one another
• Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology: some aspect of a safety-critical control function (steering, throttle, or braking) occurs without direct driver input

Technology: Lessons Learned
• Local government lessons so far:
– Invest in IT systems
– Capital improvement planning
• Learn from rural off-road applications:
– Platooning already exists in mining
– Autonomous tech emerging in agriculture

Human-centered Transportation
• Rethinking mobility: rural car-share– Cantua Creek, CA (pop. 466): low-income, community
van-share pilot, Van y Vienen
– Weekday on-demand “routes,” weekend hourly rentals
– Electric vehicle
– Community development philanthropy– https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2017/09/a-community-driven-uber-arrives-in-

Equity?
• Easy to lose focus on equity when implementing new trends
• Not just rural vs. urban, but within rural
• Broad engagement, link planning processes and programs, and connect to implementation
• Make economic resilience meaningful to all residents

More Trends
• Hyperloop One: New mode?
– First/last mile problems will still exist
– If rural residents/shippers can access it affordably, opportunities to reduce travel times?
• Battery-powered jet travel
– If it works, will it make travel affordable from rural airports?
• Drones: revolutionize small delivery service?
