The New Mobility program considers the intersection of travel behavior, economics, engineering, regulation, and infrastructure as technology and business forces lead to new mobility options. These options include ridehailing, automated and connected vehicles, and micromobility. New mobility can strain existing infrastructure and regulations, and researching empirical questions can inform a response.
