Are new mobility technologies the key to unlocking the future of urban living, or do they pose a threat to established public transit systems? Dive into this groundbreaking book that unveils the potential for a harmonious coexistence. The New Mobility Handbook, 2024 Edition challenges the belief that ride services, autonomous vehicles, and micromobility are at odds with public transit in a zero-sum transportation game. Discover how new mobility options, immensely popular and fostering multimodal travel, can be paired with classic urban planning principles to offer attractive alternatives to personal car use. Learn how road pricing, road space reallocation, and innovative policies can transform cities when new mobility technologies turn detractors into allies. Ride services and micromobility emerge not as adversaries to transit, but as advocates for a smarter, more inclusive urban ecosystem. Part I sparks a paradigm shift, advocating to change how we use cars through fair pricing and shared street space. Part II champions micromobility as a crucial city transportation element, while Part III underscores the pivotal role of public transit, positioning it as a first-choice option. Join us in reshaping the narrative! Embrace a future where cars, micromobility, and public transit unite, creating a dynamic, sustainable, and inclusive mobility system for the next century.

A call to redefine mobility so that it is connected, heterogeneous, intelligent, and personalized, as well as sustainable, adaptable, and city-friendly. The twentieth century was the century of the automobile; the twenty-first will see mobility dramatically re-envisioned. Automobiles altered cityscapes, boosted economies, and made personal mobility efficient and convenient for many. We had a century-long love affair with the car. But today, people are more attached to their smartphones than their cars. Cars are not always the quickest mode of travel in cities; and emissions from the rapidly growing number of cars threaten the planet. This book, by three experts from industry and academia, envisions a new world of mobility that is connected, heterogeneous, intelligent, and personalized (the CHIP architecture). The authors describe the changes that are coming. City administrators are shifting from designing cities for cars to designing cities for people. Nations and cities will increasingly employ targeted user fees and offer subsidies to nudge consumers toward more sustainable modes. The sharing economy is coaxing many consumers to shift from being owners of assets to being users of services. The auto industry is responding with connected cars that double as virtual travel assistants and by introducing autonomous driving. The CHIP architecture embodies an integrated, multimode mobility system that builds on ubiquitous connectivity, electrified and autonomous vehicles, and a marketplace open to innovation and entrepreneurship. Consumers will exercise choice on the basis of user experience and efficiency, aided by “intelligent advisors,” accessible through their mobile devices. An innovative mobility architecture reconfigured for this century is a social and economic necessity; this book charts a course for achieving it.

"Upward mobility through the path of higher education has been an article of faith for generations of working-class, low-income, and immigrant college students. While we know this path usually entails financial sacrifices and hard work, very little attention has been paid to the deep personal compromises such students have to make as they enter worlds vastly different from their own. Measuring the true cost of higher education for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, Moving Up without Losing Your Way looks at the ethical dilemmas of upward mobility--the broken ties with family and friends, the severed connections with former communities, and the loss of identity--faced by students as they strive to earn a successful place in society"--Dust jacket.
