Public Transit Challenged
Emerging Mobility: Too Narrow
Public Transit: Essential
But…
• Can’t get to destination
• Infrequent
• Expensive
• Takes too long
• Too far away
Emerging Mobility: Inaccessible
• Expensive
• Design doesn’t meet needs
• Tech/pay/licensing barriers
• Language
• Not in neighborhood
• Don’t know how to use it
• Safety concerns
