Urban Mobility in the 21st Century

Rapid population growth in cities world-wide will lead to a shift in transportation from car ownership to a networked fleet of smaller, more efficient, sustainable shared vehicles, predicts Urban Mobility in the 21st Century, a report for the NYU BMW i Project on Cities and Sustainability prepared by Mitchell L. Moss, Director of the Rudin Center for Transportation Policy & Management at NYU Wagner and Hugh O’Neill, President and Founder of Appleseed.

NYU Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management graduate research assistant, Chris Whong, was one of the developers.

The Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management today released their newest publication, Getting Started with Open Data: A Guide for Transportation Agencies. 

Here’s what you need to know:

• This guide is intended to result in streamlined use of transportation services and promote a productive dialogue between agencies and their constituents.
• It is being released as a living document, intended for input from both transportation data owners and users, to result in the most complete open transportation data guide possible.
