A report from the WISPIRG Foundation and Frontier Group shows how American cities are using new technologies for their transportation needs. The report, “The Innovative Transportation Index,” explores how these advances make it easier for more Americans to live full and engaged lives without owning a car.

The report ranks major American cities on a number of different types of new transportation technology options in the city, including: ride-sharing, bike-sharing, public transit navigation apps, and virtual transit ticketing, among others.

“None of these options even existed a few years ago, and this trend is just beginning,” said Phineas Baxandall, WISPIRG Foundation transportation program director. “Technology has given people new convenient ways to get around.”

The report calls on policymakers to tap into the potential of these services to address transportation challenges and increase the number of people able to live car-free or car-light lifestyles.
