Beyond Traffic: U.S. DOT's 30-Year Framework for the Future

Monday, February 2, 2015

Please join U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt at 6:00 p.m. EST Monday, February 2, for the launch of the Beyond Traffic Framework.

Beyond Traffic is an invitation to the American public—including the users, developers, owners, and operators of the transportation network and the policy officials who shape it—to have a frank conversation about the shape, size, and condition of that system and how it will meet the needs and goals of our nation for decades to come.

Beyond Traffic is a draft framework for the future; it’s not prescriptive. It does not advocate for specific policy solutions. Rather, it underscores critical decision points facing the country, by means of data driven analysis, research, expert opinions and public engagement.

In a Google Fireside Chat, Foxx and Schmidt will discuss a new analysis from the U.S. Department of Transportation's draft “Beyond Traffic" framework, which anticipates the trends and choices facing our transportation system over the next three decades.

View the Google Fireside Chat (the site will be live one hour prior to start).
