The Future of Transportation
SPUR Report Will the rise of new mobility services like Uber and bike sharing help reduce car use, climate emissions and demand for parking? Or will they lead to greater inequality and yet more reliance on cars? SPUR proposes how private services can work together with public transportation to function as a seamless network and provide access for people of all incomes, races, ages and abilities.
Can Private Mobility Services Support (Not Undermine) Public Transit?
News / SPUR explores how public transportation and private emerging mobility providers can play to their respective strengths, function as a seamless network, and provide access for people of all incomes, races, ages and abilities. Together we can create a transportation system with fewer car trips, lower greenhouse gas emissions and increased access for the region’s most vulnerable residents.

Each has a compelling and noteworthy approach that could inform future policy innovation in the Bay Area.
SPUR Co-Sponsors Bill to Make Sustainable Transportation an Essential Part of California’s Recovery
