5:30 pm - Reception with refreshments
6:00 - 8:00 pm - Presentation

This free public presentation will explore demographic and economic trends that affect future travel demands including changes in vehicle use, aging rural populations, increasing urbanization, changing user preferences, and increasing concerns about public health, affordability and environmental protection. Similarly, businesses are changing the way they use transportation systems: many are taking advantage of new technologies and cost saving opportunities to increase their productivity and competitiveness. This presentation will examine trends that affect future transportation demands, discuss their implications for transportation planning, and explore how transportation can better support economic development and foster strong communities.
