Transformative changes are coming to our world of passenger transportation—with the promise of huge energy, environmental, and social benefits. The 3 Revolutions in vehicle sharing, automation and electrification could provide our best shot at a transportation do-over, allowing an opportunity to right the errors of the environmental and social impacts of 20th century transportation. But this will require new and strategic thinking across sectors. The shared-use revolution, with the promise of low-cost travel, greater access for mobility-disadvantaged travelers, and less vehicle use, is promising but also elusive.

In this special guest appearance, acclaimed Author, Professor, and California Air Resource Board Member, Dr. Dan Sperling, will discuss the interrelated nature of the 3 Revolutions and explore how we can steer shared, electric, and automated technologies and services to a better future. Join us in moving beyond hype and hostility in considering how we can anticipate—rather than react to—environmental, economic, and social challenges and opportunities.

Copies of the “3 Revolutions” book will be available for purchase ($20 donation) and author signing.
