The world of transportation and mobility is changing rapidly, due to technology as well as people's expectations, and our region does not want to be left behind.

To advance this discussion, the Regional Transportation Alliance of SWPA engaged hundreds of community groups, businesses, and local leaders across the 10-county region of southwestern PA to develop Imagine Transportation 2.0, A Vision for a Better Transportation Future. This online report is full of interactive maps and links to case studies, references to thought leaders and futurists, and stories about what's working in our competitor regions across the U.S.

Released in March 2017, Imagine Transportation 2.0 is the culmination of a 2 year effort to answer the questions: What do we want from our transportation system in the next 10-20 years, and what do we need to do differently to get there?
