Transportation Innovation and Policy in a Fragmenting World

August 22-25, 2017

Organized under the auspices of the Energy and Alternative Fuels Committees of the U.S. Transportation Research Board

Hosted by the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies

This year’s Asilomar conference will respond to an acknowledgment highlighted at the Paris climate conference (COP21) in December 2015 that transportation, beyond vehicles and fuels, has not received enough attention. Sessions will address emerging issues, including “global peak oil demand,” vehicle electrification, sustainable freight, and the energy impact of shared mobility and automated vehicles. The conference will also address the growing skepticism of globalization and shifting climate policies—the emerging trends, tensions and uncertainties. What are the opportunities, challenges and limitations? What new international and public-private strategies and partnerships might be pursued?
