Book excerpt: Mobility services are quickly and continually evolving, propelled by advancements in technology, leading towards improved convenience and seamless transition between mobility providers. Mobility providers and 3rd party organizations are evolving towards cross-compatibility of services, including planning and payment over a single platform, this is called mobility as a service (MaaS). Austin, Texas has been facing the challenges of an urban fabric dependent on personal vehicles for mobility, including traffic congestion, reductions in air quality, and a disproportionate burden on marginalized communities. Adoption and enhancement of MaaS platforms within the city of Austin can relieve reliance on personal vehicles and ultimately improve residential quality of life. Still an evolving technology, existing studies have proposed structures and infrastructure that need to be in place for successful MaaS deployment, though none have looked at opportunities within Austin, which this project seeks to find. Through evaluation of existing City of Austin planning documents, proposed frameworks for deployment by researchers, and understanding of existing and proposed plans for MaaS platforms, this work seeks to understand the viability and roadmap for deployment within Austin. Results place Austin very well equipped to produce and handle and functioning MaaS platform by utilizing existing infrastructural pieces and planned mobility development, these include the number of mobility alternatives, a robust public transit service and planned increases in density. This report provides context for both policies and infrastructure that is necessary for cities to implement a successful MaaS platform

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congestion continues to grow in America¿s urban areas. This report presents details on the 2004 trends, findings and what can be done to address the growing transportation problems. Trend data from 1982 to 2002 for 85 urban areas provides both a local view and a national perspective on the growth and extent of traffic congestion. The 2004 Report provides clear evidence that the time for improvements has arrived. Communicating the congestion levels and the need for improvements is a goal of this report. The decisions about which, and how much, improvement to fund will be made at the local level according to a variety of goals, but there are some broad conclusions that can be drawn from this database.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report aims to evaluate and recommend possible strategies in which to promote improved mobility policies that will reduce interregional congestion. The transportation infrastructure between Austin and San Antonio, the anchor cities of the Central Texas corridor is becoming overburdened by the lack of mobility options that compete with private vehicle use. Much of the corridor is predicted to have major increases in congestion, which will potentially worsen the quality of life in both regions. . Given the critical economic role for regional transportation and its quality of life effects, there are a variety of solutions that can improve corridor transportation performance; especially in terms of providing improved mobility options. The causes of current interregional congestion levels are the severe lack of investment outside of roadway expansions and bypasses. This research gauges the institutional authority and resources related to managing the Austin –San Antonio corridor. Other regional examples of investment and management to improve transportation performance and choices in heavy-use corridors will be analyzed to identify opportunities and solutions for improved bi-regional coordination for the Central Texas corridor. In a fast-growing region like Central Texas, transportation is a crucial concern as it shapes urbanization, economic development and quality of life for a burgeoning population. This work emphasizes how new forms transportation planning to improve mobility options can significantly influence the Central Texas corridor’s ability to provide improved transportation performance for this rapidly growing region

Book excerpt: This dissertation argues that between 1950 and 1985 a diverse collection of residents from the Houston, Texas metropolitan area used debates about the planning, construction, and meaning of transportation structures—primarily highways and mass transit systems—as opportunities to claim political power and to influence the future of their neighborhoods and city. As they contested these systems, Houstonians articulated competing notions of the politics of mobility. In addition to concrete political decisions about transportation, this term also encompasses the daily transportation decisions of Houstonians and the meanings those residents ascribed to the infrastructure that carried them across the city. The politics of mobility uniquely illuminates the intersection of politics, culture, and urban development in Houston. Who wielded the power to make choices about Houston’s transportation networks and how the balance of that power changed over time are central questions of this dissertation. Until the late 1950s and early 1960s, a collection of nearly all white and male elected officials, professional planners, and private developers held immense power over the city’s decision-making process, but never completely controlled it. The actions of citizens outside that group forced leaders to acknowledge, if rarely embrace, the perspectives that citizens held about transportation and the politics of mobility. By the mid-1970s, aided by changes in federal oversight and citizen participation regulations, as well as by their own assertions of political power, an increasingly diverse set of Houstonians—African American, ethnic Mexican, and white, urban and suburban, rich and poor—possessed more influence over the city’s transportation choices. By engaging in these debates, Houstonians challenged the city’s racial, economic, and decision-making status quo. The choices made in Houston’s struggle over the placement of highways and the creation of a public transit authority sheds light onto the foundations of Houston’s unique built environment and offers a model for understanding similar forces at work in other auto-centric southern and western, “Sunbelt” cities, such as Los Angeles and Atlanta. Further, these conflicts illuminate why older cities in the Northeast and Midwest and younger ones in the West and the South developed such divergent urbanization patterns and transportation practices.
