???? Exciting Update on Smart Transportation! ???? I’m thrilled to share that Eric Haggett and I have co-authored an article for the November issue of International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI) Parking & Mobility Magazine. The article dives into the latest people-centric advancements in smart transportation, and it’s the culmination of over two years of hard work by the Smart Transportation Task Force (STTF). The article also features a special link to the Smart Transportation Guidebook, co-authored by myself and the incredible Casey Jones, CAPP, PMP. This guidebook reflects on the lessons learned from the Smart City challenge nearly a decade ago and offers invaluable insights into the evolution of smart transportation. We also highlight some formidable case studies that showcase the impactful work of parking & mobility professionals in this space. It’s an exciting time for the future of transportation, and I’m proud to be part of this ongoing journey! ??
