MEDIA ADVISORY
“Shifting Gears: Technologies, Behaviors, and the Future of Transportation,” will be hosted by the Energy, Resources and Environment Program at the Johns Hopkins University Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) on Monday, April 24, 2017.
Rapidly evolving technology has led to new innovative companies and transportation approaches, while shifting behaviors are changing how consumers navigate the increasingly urbanized and interconnected world. As investors, policymakers, and citizens face the increasingly complex interdependencies of regional transportation networks, what are the trends that will most shape behavior over the coming decades?
