35 Disclaimer We haven t been able to predict Who will win the next election, Which movie or TV show will be popular, What will be the hot Christmas gift, or, Which stocks (if any) will do well this year. The level of understanding and the amount of data regarding transportation has never been better, yet we shouldn t apologize for uncertainty regarding predictions of the future. But we should plan for uncertainty.

36 Thus, Future Travel Demand is:

38 Conflicting Goals? Improve Transportation Systems and Travel Support Economic Vitality Protect and Preserve the Environment and Quality of Life and Promote Energy Conservation

39 Transportation Impacts Everything The complexity of transportation decision making results from applying holistic thinking to transportation planning. Environment, health, safety, mobility, accessibility, equity, climate change, employment, economic competitiveness, image, land use, choice, etc. The contentiousness of transportation decision making derives from these often being partisan issues

41 Key Issues Unprecedented uncertainty Behavior, demographics, economic growth, technological change, governance, etc. A disconnect between industry defined needs and political/public will An inability to discern between worthy and imprudent projects
