670392 event 1697129569 1697129999 How should such decisions be made about what transit goes where and what kind of city we want? Helping us answer these questions are Eric Kronberg of Kronberg Urbanists and Architects and advocate for affordable, equitable transportation; Tejas Santaman, ISYE instructor in network science who works for Beep; and Rebecca Serna, Executive Director of Propel Atlanta. Come join the discussion!

]]> New modes of getting around are exploding. Now, in addition to fixed rail, bus, and streetcar, smartphones and algorithms have expanded on-demand mobility such as microtransit vans, scooters, and e-bike rentals. Some of our streets already have robotaxis and AV shuttles. Will the skies soon include podcars and UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles)? What kind of city, social equity, and neighborhood form do these different modes shape? In Atlanta, the Beltline is a 22-mile trail loop that has proven the popularity of walkability and bike-oriented development but promised to include future transit. Should that transit continue the city’s historic but troubled investment in streetcars or bet on emerging technologies like AV shuttles?
