Event Details

From dramatic policy swings for vehicles and infrastructure to rapidly evolving technologies, this is a busy time for transportation policy in the United States. Over the coming years, policymakers at all levels will make key decisions that affect the innovation and adoption of new transportation technologies—and both policymakers and other experts have signaled a need for research that integrates engineering, economics, and policy perspectives to inform these decisions.

This one-day event highlights interdisciplinary research on the economic, equity, environmental, and health implications of new technologies and policies, and features discussions with policy experts on the future of US transportation policies.

The 2026 Transportation Engineering, Economics, and Policy Workshop is organized jointly by the University of Maryland, Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, Michigan University, and Resources for the Future, with generous funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
