Beyond Traffic 2045: "The Blue Paper"

Feb. 3, 2015
The Blue Paper provides a quick overview of Beyond Traffic, a draft framework from USDOT for the future of transportation.

Beyond Traffic is an invitation to the American public — including the users, developers, owners and operators of the transportation network and the policy officials who shape it — to have a frank conversation about the shape, size and condition of that system and how it will meet the needs and goals of our nation for decades to come.

Beyond Traffic is a draft framework for the future, it’s not prescriptive. It does not advocate for specific policy solutions. Rather, it underscores critical decision points facing the country, by means of data driven analysis, research, expert opinions and public engagement.
