Last week YPT-DC had the pleasure of hosting a conversation with David Zipper, a leading mobility expert, on “How Cities Can Prepare For Autonomous Vehicles”.

David shared practical strategies that cities can implement with or without the widespread of AVs including:
🔹Continued investment in public transit
🔹Automated enforcement to improve safety and compliance
🔹Curbside management
🔹Market-rate parking pricing
🔹Congestion pricing

A big thank you to David Zipper for sharing his time, expertise, and insights with our members! We look forward to continuing the conversation and creating more opportunities for our members to learn from leaders shaping the future of mobility!🚦
