Better transit can change the world.

 

That's why I invented a new field: designing autonomous transit grids for existing central business districts. I spent eight years advancing rights-of-way (ROW) reallocation studies for autonomous corridors and I've got the scars to prove it. I can identify strategic models and tradeoffs for autonomous traffic movement, which are full of implications for choices being made now.

​

By applying the principles of transportation physics, urban agglomeration analysis, and modeling grade-separated corridors to bypass traditional surface street congestion, cities can begin aligning early with communities, local developers, and their unique export industries, to expand commuter boundaries, and prevent suburban vs. urban core speculation with the clarity of this master-planned community connectivity project could finally provide.
