As transportation technology evolves and agencies adopt new mobility services to meet changing market demands, ensuring equitable access and transportation options for all populations is critical. The TCRP Research Report 244 & NCHRP Research Report 101: Transformational Technologies and Mobility Inclusion Playbook was developed to support organizations that want to provide safe, fair, and accessible transportation tailored to the needs of everyone in the community. TRB hosted a webinar on Thursday, October 17, 2024 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that discussed the playbook, setting the stage for inclusive transportation as an integral component of the evolving transformative transportation ecosystem.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program and National Cooperative Highway Research Program.
