In an event at The Brookings Institution Wednesday hosted by the Japan International Transport Institute, Mobility Lab Director Tom Fairchild sat on an engaging panel about ridesharing, the sharing economy, and how the future of transportation needs to be shaped by both private and public enterprises.
Also on the panel, entitled “Mobility Innovations in the Sharing Economy” are (left to right in Michael Schade’s photos below): Adie Tomer of The Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program, Joseph Kopser of RideScout, Fairchild, and JITI Moderator Micah Himmel (not pictured).
The talk is part of the cross-cultural dialogue JITI fosters between Japan and the United States to build understanding of the best ways to look at transportation.
Here are Twitter highlights from the event, and stay tuned for more analysis from Mobility Lab contributor Paul Goddin.
