On January 8, 2017, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) co-hosted a workshop on the U.S. DOT’s Smart City Challenge and the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) MOD Sandbox: Advancing Multimodal Mobility and Best Practices, at the 96th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington, D.C. The workshop facilitated a dialogue among over 165 participants from public-sector organizations, private companies, nonprofit research groups, and educational institutions. It featured thought leaders and finalists from the 2016 U.S. DOT’s Smart City Challenge and FTA’s MOD Sandbox. The workshop emphasized the role of public transit, shared mobility, and advanced technology (connected and automated vehicle technology, sensing, cameras, etc.) in the recent competitions, along with next steps and plans for researching the pilot projects and documenting best practices. Sessions featured the U.S. DOT Smart City Challenge winner: Columbus, Ohio, and highlighted pilot projects from the FTA MOD Sandbox, along with selected public–private partnerships and research initiatives on the future of mobility. Government, industry, and academic thought leaders presented and participated in panel discussions with the audience about the pilot projects, public–private partnerships, research, and next steps, emphasizing the future of multimodal mobility. In the second half of the workshop, attendees participated in interactive breakout sessions and reported back on next steps for advancing research and policy understanding in public transport innovation, as well as use cases in the context of a range of use cases (urban, suburban, and rural). This workshop synopsis covers findings and discussions from the event and summarizes the key topics explored throughout the day.
