  • Abstract:
    "Recognizing that no single solution will save the day for transportation in this rapidly urbanizing and increasingly complex world, a groundswell of

    transportation innovation is arising worldwide. However, these innovations are rarely linked and optimized in a way that can provide a convenient,

    practical, affordable and sustainable door-to-door trip for the user. The next generation of urban transportation is about connecting transportation

    modes, services, and technologies, bringing diverse innovations together in ways that favour accessibility (meeting needs) over mobility (moving for

    the sake of moving), and that work significantly better for people, economies, and the planet. This Primer has been written in response to demand by

    project partners of the SMART initiative at the University of Michigan. Developed with the benefit of knowledge, experience, and new discoveries

    gained from groundbreaking projects in cities around the world, it remains a live discussion document, allowing for new learning as the network of

    SMART Living Labs grows.

    The purpose of the Primer is to describe and document new integrative approaches, guiding principles, and living examples that will serve SMART

    partner communities. It is also meant to serve businesses, community leaders, transportation practitioners and policymakers who are interested in

    improving and transforming their transportation systems (and related economies) as whole systems. While there is a growing number of excellent

    publications and web-based resources listing and describing specific innovations, few of these describe how to bring these innovations together

    optimally for both the user and the community. This Primer aims to contribute to a growing literature of integrative and practical approaches for

    implementing multi-modal, “next generation” transportation and transportation infrastructure. More broadly, it aims to contribute to advancing

    livability, sustainability, and economic vitality in communities and city regions of the world through systems-based transportation."
