Abstract

Modern urban transportation is evolving to a much more complex ecosystem, where a number of policy decisions must be taken. The number of stakeholders increases, also with the increasing citizen participation in the decision-making process. The need for more objective, transparent and demonstrable policy evaluation is greater than ever. In this talk, we use a number of concrete examples to demonstrate the paradigm shift towards evidence-based transportation policy.
