Preview: Spring 2015 Issue

InTransition returns in May with an issue focused on technology and transportation. Here’s a look at a few of the issue’s top stories:

Ride-Hailing in the Suburbs: Apps like Uber and Lyft have experienced great success in America’s cities, but can they thrive in areas with lower population densities?

Drones and Transportation: Across the nation, unmanned aerial vehicles are being tested for transportation purposes ranging from traffic analysis to emergency response.

Mobile Pavement Scanning: Once handled by slow-moving crews on the road shoulders, new vehicle-mounted tools allow engineers to scan at highway speeds.

Center for National Response: A former interstate tunnel in West Virginia has been converted into a training ground where emergency responders can practice their responses to incidents like underground crashes, subway terror attacks and hazmat spills.

This is only a sample of the content you’ll find in the issue. To sign up for a free print subscription (readers in the U.S. and Canada only) or update your mailing address, fill out the electronic form at www.intransitionmag.org or email your contact information to intransition@njtpa.org.
