Abstract:

In this assessment of the current and future status of personal mobility in the United States, expenditures on and current levels of personal mobility are identified, and the factors that will determine the limits on future demand for personal mobility are evaluated. The likely resources required to meet the needs for mobility are assessed along with factors that will limit the ability to meet personal mobility requirements. The conclusion contains suggestions for what should be done to preserve and enhance personal mobility in the future. Major questions addressed are the following: What are Americans spending on personal mobility? What is the current level of mobility? How much are various modes used? What has been happening to speeds and congestion levels? Are growth rates for personal travel going to change? What should be done to maintain and enhance mobility?
