| Abstract | On December 2-3, 2014, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Exploratory Advanced Research Program, with support from the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, convened the 2-day workshop "Novel Modes." It was held concurrently at FHWA's Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, Virginia; Federal Transit Administration's Region 9 Offices in San Francisco, California; and via Web conferencing. The purpose of the workshop was to assess and document the state of technology for new modal systems, thereby providing FHWA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and other government agencies with (1) and educated understanding of potential technological trends that could affect the current highway, transit, and rail systems; (2) a foundation for considering the appropriate government policy and research roles for novel modal systems; and (3) an opportunity to provide ongoing fair and open access to innovators in the business and academic sectors. |
