THIS EPISODE: Experiments in Mobility<\/h3>\n

It can be hard to convince governments at any level to invest in a new idea. This is especially true with transportation, where breaking away from the status quo can sometimes seem an impossible dream. But when opportunity to explore potential new ways of moving people is granted, on a small scale, and for a brief period of time, that allows us to experiment \u2014 to see what works, and what’s worth investing in more generally.<\/p>\n

Camile Machado is project manager for New Mobility at TransLink<\/a>, Metro Vancouver’s transit network. She tells us about a range of pilot projects and research being to to find new tech and data-driven ways to solve transit issue and improve service.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mobility ecosystem is changing really fast, with all these trends of shared mobility, autonomous driving, connectivity, electrification \u2014 they’re all changing the landscape. So, in response to that, TransLink created what we call TransLink Tomorrow, which is this strategy to really try out all this new technology, all these new concepts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
