Description:

New transportation technologies are changing the ways we travel. This paper examines the institutional obstacles to not only adopting these technologies but deploying them in a way that increases equitable access and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Meeting environmental and social targets will depend on how governments and private firms shape the implementation of new technologies. This paper reviews research from Political Science, Public Policy, and other relevant fields to show the role institutions play in guiding the implementation of new technologies. The review focuses on four areas of innovation– shared mobility, integrated mobility, road and congestion pricing, and connected and autonomous vehicles – to provide an overview of salient obstacles for new technologies. The paper then analyzes how the institutional landscape contributes to these issues through path dependence and jurisdictional fragmentation and uses insights from the literature to recommend policy actions to bolster cooperation and ease the creation or modification of institutions that will help steer new technologies toward a more equitable transportation system.
