Advanced mobility of passengers and freight is a key component to the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Advance Transportation Mobility Strategic Plan.
The strategic plan continues to build North Carolina’s ground mobility foundation through NCDOT’s Integrated Mobility Division’s four pillars of mobility:
- Layered shared mobility options
- Connected at mobility hubs
- Connected by complete streets
- Integrated by mobility-as-a-service.
Six key considerations are guiding this work:
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Cultivate mobility systems curated to serve a diverse set of human-focused use cases while also supporting enhanced quality of life for communities.
- Policy Alignment: Enact and encourage policies at all levels to support advanced mobility industry success.
- Interoperable Systems: Develop systems that are interoperable and coordinate across different technologies, platforms, and jurisdictions.
- Workforce Development: Support workforce development to ensure we have the workforce needed for future mobility.
- Partnerships for Success: Partner with industry to develop essential energy/fueling capacity, transportation infrastructure and fiber/cellular connectivity.
- Safe & Secure Systems: Prioritize research and implementation safeguards to address cybersecurity and human interaction in advanced mobility.
