Rapid change is altering how we plan, build, and mange intermodal passenger transportation facilities. Factors as diverse as a rise in telework and advanced air mobility change user expectations. TRB hosted a webinar on Wednesday, November 20, 2024 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that presented the key research findings in TCRP Research Report 250 / ACRP Research Report 275 / NCHRP Research Report 1129: Intermodal Passenger Facility Planning and Decision-Making for Seamless Travel. Presenters summarized key trends and considerations for planning, constructing, operating and serving airports, rail and bus stations, transit centers, mobility hubs, and water transportation facilities. Decision makers will need to account for trends across modes, like automated and electric vehicles. Presenters showed examples from existing and planned intermodal passenger facilities to illustrate effective practices in different contexts.

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