In their new book, Mobility First: A New Vision for Transportation in a Globally Competitive Twenty-First Century, Samuel Staley and Adrian Moore challenge policymakers to rethink how best to fix America's gridlocked and deteriorating road and transit systems. For decades, America has struggled to prioritize and finance large-scale infrastructure projects. Staley and Moore detail how private capital investment and value-priced roads can usher in a new era, unclogging our transportation networks and unleashing a system capable of handling our 21st century economy. Obama has supported some of these principles by calling for a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank. In Mobility First, Staley and Moore put forth real-world examples from across the globe to chart a new course for transportation planning. Mobility First offers ways to modernize transit and expand road capacity, sets goals for congestion reduction, calls for a redesign of the regional transportation network, outlines performance standards to increase transparency, and provides a blueprint for attracting large private investments to help build needed infrastructure.
