Cleaner air. Quieter streets. Shared access to electric vehicles in the near-term. Cost-effective, driverless transportation options in the long-term. These things excite urban dwellers today and inspire the best city leaders to push for transportation solutions that will enable healthy and happy urban living tomorrow.

Experts in transportation and a leading mayor discuss what’s working well, what’s left to be done and who’s being left behind.
