The convergence of new shared mobility services with automated and electric vehicles promises to significantly reshape our lives and communities for the better?or for the worse. The dream scenario could bring huge public and private benefits, including more transportation choices, greater affordability and accessibility, and healthier, more livable cities, along with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The nightmare scenario could bring more urban sprawl, energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and unhealthy cities and individuals. In Three Revolutions, transportation expert Dan Sperling, along with seven other leaders in the field, share research?based insights on potential public benefits and impacts of the three transportation revolutions. They describe innovative ideas and partnerships, and explore the role government policy can playin steering the new transportation paradigm toward the public interest?toward our dream scenario of social equity, environmental sustainability, and urban livability. Many factors will influence these revolutions?including the willingness of travelers to share rides and eschew car ownership; continuing reductions in battery, fuel cell, and automation costs; and the adaptiveness of companies. But one of the most important factors is policy. Three Revolutions offers policy recommendations and provides insight and knowledge that could lead to wiser choices by all. With this book, Sperling and his collaborators hope to steer these revolutions toward the public interest and a better quality of life for everyone. 606 $aTransportation engineering 606 $aTraffic engineering 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aAutomotive engineering 606 $aEcology 606 $aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aAutomotive Engineering 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 615 0$aTransportation engineering. 615 0$aTraffic engineering. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aAutomotive engineering. 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aAutomotive Engineering. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 676 $a388.3 700 $aSperling$b Daniel$081888 702 $aSperling$b Daniel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299920503321 996 $aThree Revolutions$92887112 997 $aUNINA
