Seven Key Pressure Points Facing Urban Transportation Agencies
Urban transportation agencies must address seven critical pressure points through focused investments that resolve current operational challenges and advance long-term modernization. A coordinated strategy can help agencies determine where to focus their efforts and investments
Cybersecurity risks from connected IT/OT and AI
Defend connected operational networks, IoT systems, and automated processes against sophisticated threats.
Workforce and Asset Degradation
Manage aging infrastructure as experienced workers retire, leaving fewer people (with the right skills) to operate and modernize transportation networks.
Legacy Systems and Rising Costs
Modernize outdated technology architectures that continue to drive up operating costs.
Public Safety and Urban Congestion
Improve public safety while managing severe roadway congestion and pressure on public transit capacity.
Revenue Stream Transition
Develop new revenue sources, including smart parking, EV registration fees, and public-private partnerships, as traditional funding declines.
Climate Resilience and Sustainability Goals
Build an adaptive infrastructure capable of enduring extreme weather while meeting ambitious net-zero targets.
Building AI Skills and Making Data Easier to Access and Use
Develop internal AI capabilities while breaking down data silos to make data easier to access and use securely for operational decision-making.
