We are in the early stages of a massive shift in the way that people choose to travel. New options, new business models and new modes are popping up overnight. Many call the convergence of Autonomous, Connected, Shared and Electric Vehicles the Third Revolution in Transportation.

Planning for a Radically Different Future Transportation + Climate
Kendra Breiland, Fehr and Peers
March 18, 2020 | 5:30 – 7 p.m.
Symposium Coffee
In a quickly changing world, how do we predict future travel needs to adequately size our transportation systems?
During this interactive session, we will introduce TrendLab+ and then have participants weigh in their expectations for 12 future trends that will influence the future of travel in Tigard. With the results, we’ll develop a Transportation System Plan year forecast to help understand how trends could influence transportation infrastructure needs planning.
In the Driver’s Seat Transportation + Economy
Jerry Johnson, Johnson Economics
April 15, 2020 | 5:30 – 7 p.m.
Symposium Coffee
Transportation investments impact development. Johnson Economics has developed a predictive development modeling framework that translates changes in the market such as rent levels into anticipated changes in development outcomes.
This presentation discusses the financial characteristics of a range of development types, the reasons developments occur in the form that they do and ways in which interventions can influence outcomes.
