Urban Mobility System Upgrade
Corporate Partnership Board Report, Policy Insights,

- Improvements in road safety are almost certain. Environmental benefits will depend on vehicle technology.
- New vehicle types and business models will be required.
- Public transport, taxi operations and urban transport governance will have to adapt.
